Central Michigan vs Loyola Chicago Prediction

Central Michigan isn’t good and has a recent bad loss to Northern Kentucky, but that doesn’t mean Loyola Chicago should be favored against anybody. Loyola Chicago has lost 7 straight games and has an offense that can’t get out of its own way. Loyola Chicago has scored fewer than 60 points in three straight games. Loyola Chicago is also 0-8 ATS on the season and has failed to cover 9 straight games overall. Loyola Chicago hasn’t covered a game since March 26. You’d think this would be a spot Loyola Chicago turns the corner, but I have to see it. You can’t keep burning holes in the pocket and think I’m coming back. Loyola Chicago is one of 6 teams to not cover a single number this season. Give me Central Michigan and the points.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Central Michigan +7.5
