Green Bay vs. Cleveland State Prediction

I’m on Cleveland State here. I just think that Green Bay continues their slide here as it’s more likely that they keep losing than it is that they win a game. The last game against IU Indy was I think Green Bay’s best chance at a win the rest of the way and they had their crack at Cleveland State at home in the first meeting and got waxed. I think the same happens here as Cleveland State cranks out the win and cover here.
