Ohio is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games and 23-8 ATS in their last 31 games overall while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win. Cleveland State is 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall and 20-8-2 ATS in their last 30 home games while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games following a loss.
I get why you could look Cleveland State’s way here being at home, but realistically, the Bobcats are just the far better team from top to bottom and have a ton of depth that I just don’t see Cleveland State having much of an answer for. I look for the Bobcats to handle business the same way they did against Belmont, so give me the Bobcats here.
