Chicago State vs Central Connecticut Prediction
The Chicago State Cougars are coming off a solid effort where they nearly beat Stonehill as a double-digit dog, but I’m still not getting behind this team. Chicago State remains one of the worst offensive teams in the country, and it’s 9-12 ATS despite being big underdogs nightly. Chicago State shoots well below 40 percent from the field and has scored 64 or fewer points in eight of its last 10 games. The fact the Central Connecticut Blue Devils can be a double-digit favorite tells you all you need to know about Chicago State. Thick line, but it’s Central Connecticut or pass. Chicago State is awful.
