Detroit Titans vs. Cleveland State Vikings Prediction
I’m on the Vikings here. Detroit has not been a good road team this season or in Horizon League play over the years and while Cleveland State hasn’t been all that great themselves, I think this is a nice bounce back spot at home for Cleveland State and I think the Vikings end up with the W when all is said and done here. Give me Cleveland State in this one.
