Cleveland State vs Milwaukee Prediction
Milwaukee is getting the love from oddsmakers because it’s at home, and we already saw the Panthers beat Cleveland State in December by 10 points on the road. However, let’s not act like Milwaukee is some world beater, a team that doesn’t defend, is 8-14 ATS on the season, and has lost 4 times at home. Cleveland State has a couple of road wins and is coming off outright upsets over Youngstown State, Wright State, and Green Bay. This is the best ball Cleveland State has played in a while, and there should be some confidence against a Milwaukee side that couldn’t defend you or me. I’ll grab the points with the Vikings.
