Central Michigan vs Bowling Green Prediction 

Bowling Green comes into this matchup in the race for the MAC regular season title, but they will be on the road for this game. The Falcons have won three of their last four games, while the Chippewas have dropped three in a row. Central Michigan has allowed 46, 38, and 27 points in their last three games and they are definitely one of the bottom teams in the conference so far this year. Bowling Green is the better team on both sides of the football and I expect them to score 35+ points in this game. Take the Falcons to cover on the road.
