Northern Kentucky vs Cleveland State Prediction

The Northern Kentucky Norse are playing their best ball of the season, with wins in seven of their last 10 games. The problem is, Northern Kentucky struggles when stepping up in competition and is 3-6 ATS in its last nine games. Northern Kentucky is a disgusting 4-12 ATS on the season. The Cleveland State Vikings have won eight straight games, they’re 8-2 SU at home, and they’ve covered five of their last six games. Northern Kentucky has disappeared offensively as of late, scoring 61 or fewer points in three of its last six games. The line is reasonable. I’ll lay the chalk with Cleveland State at home.
