Morehead State vs Cleveland State Prediction
The Morehead State Eagles haven’t had any success on the road this season, and they lack the offense to scare anybody. Morehead State has failed to score 70 points in 7 of its last 8 games and is shooting just 40.3 percent from the field on the season. The Cleveland State Vikings have covered 4 of their last 6 games, and they’re far more battle-tested with games against Minnesota and Kansas State already. That should make this game easier for Cleveland State. The line is reasonable. Give me the Cleveland State Vikings.
