Central Michigan vs Bradley Prediction

In this Central Michigan vs Bradley Prediction, Bradley is coming as -9.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming off opposite outcomes in their opening games of the season, as Bradley is coming off a 6-point loss in a neutral site and are playing their home opener today, while Central Michigan is coming off a 16-point home victory but are playing their first road game of the season. Bradley was the superior team last season, having both a better offense and defense and this is a bounce-back spot for them. I don’t expect Central Michigan to pose a threat on the road so early in this season, so take Bradley and lay the -9.5 points at home in this one.
