Central Michigan vs Eastern Michigan Prediction
I love my dogs in rivalry games, and we just saw Central Michigan score 100 points on Eastern Michigan a few weeks ago. The underdog has also covered 4 of the last 5 meetings. However, Central Michigan has had zero success on the road, and that previous meeting creates a revenge spot for Eastern Michigan. Also, Eastern Michigan is 18-7 ATS on the season. Only Stephen F. Austin has cashed more tickets this season than Eastern Michigan. That’s the name of the game, folks. Give me the team that keeps putting money in our pocket. Give me Eastern Michigan.
