Radford Highlanders vs. Cleveland State Vikings Prediction

I’m on Cleveland State here. I just think that Cleveland State’s had the better showings to date, and while the Highlanders have played the toughest game of the bunch against UNC, it hasn’t helped as they’ve been getting blown out left and right this season. I think Cleveland State gets it done for the win and cover here. Give me the Vikings.
