Eastern Michigan vs Central Michigan Prediction

I’m not excited to lay this many points with the Central Michigan Chippewas, given their losing streak and their questionable defense at times. However, the fact Central Michigan is this large of a favorite tells you what oddsmakers think of the Eastern Michigan Eagles. Eastern Michigan has allowed 82 or more points in five of its last six games and just gave up 105 points in regulation to Akron. There’s not much left to say, boys and girls. The Eastern Michigan Eagles are a bad basketball team that’s getting worse by the week. This is a spot where you plug your nose and lay the points with Central Michigan just because of how bad Eastern Michigan is.
