Central Michigan Chippewas vs. Ohio Bobcats Prediction

I’m leaning towards Ohio here. I think Central Michigan has been really solid, but I think they’re playing a bit above their pay grade right now if I’m being completely honest, and I think Ohio at home is one of the tougher teams to go against in MAC play. I think this is a big spot for Ohio at home so give me the Bobcats in this one.
