Robert Morris took part in a very brief three-game Big South Conference season this past spring, but things didn’t go so well. The Colonials were winless at 0-3, falling to James Madison, Kennesaw State and Charleston Southern—all by double-digits. 

Robert Morris was originally going to open up their season versus Dayton this past Saturday. Unfortunately, that game was cancelled due to virus protocols and issues within the Colonials program. It will not be rescheduled. 

Over on the Central Michigan side, they managed to work in a six-game season last fall. The Chippewas went 3-3 in those games, leaving the team in fourth place in the West Division of the Mid-American Conference. 

In week one versus Missouri, Central Michigan kept the game close in the first half but eventually succumbed to a 34-24 defeat. QB Jacob Simpson put up 295 yards with one TD and two picks, while Lew Nichols added 19 carries for 135 yards and a score. 

PICK: I’m probably sticking with Central Michigan in this one, but staying away; it’s a thick line. The Chippewas did some good things in their opener loss to Missouri, racking up 475 total yards and 27 first downs. Central Michigan also went 9-of-19 on third and fourth downs. Sure, there were some mistakes, like 10 penalties, two interceptions and 468 total yards allowed to the Tigers (including 211 rushing yards). The Chippewas will likely match up better here, and if they can keep the blemishes to a minimum they should be in line for a cover.
