Sacramento State vs Central Michigan Prediction
Central Michigan is obviously the more talented team, but this is a lot of points for a team that is limited offensively. Central Michigan is 130th in total offense, 134th in passing offense, and 124th in scoring offense. It’s not the type of unit I’m excited to lay three touchdowns with. Sacramento State is getting more and more comfortable in the FBS ranks, and that includes nearly upsetting Toledo last week as a 25.5-point underdog.
Sacramento State has covered its last two games. Sacramento State is bad on both sides of the ball, but the play has improved lately, and this is clearly a more confident team as the season plays out. Again, Central Michigan doesn’t have the offense to be a three-touchdown favorite. I want the points with Sacramento State on Wednesday night.
