Central Michigan Chippewas Betting Preview
The Central Michigan Chippewas are 3-6 (1-4) this season after they lost to Bowling Green by a score of 23-13 in their last game. Central Michigan only trailed 9-7 at halftime, but they allowed the first 14 points in the second half in the loss.

The CMU offense has scored 25.8 points per game with 175.4 passing yards and 184.7 rushing yards per game, while the defense has allowed 31.2 points per game this season. We should see Tyler Jefferson and Jadyn Glasser under center in this game, while Marion Lukes has rushed for 537 yards and four touchdowns this year.
Toledo vs Central Michigan Prediction
Toledo comes into this game trying to battle back into the race for the MAC title, but they can’t afford any more losses this season. The Rockets have alternated wins and losses over their last five games, but their defense has struggled in their last two. Central Michigan has lost four games in a row and they are dealing with injuries at the quarterback spot. The Chippewas have scored 20 points total over their last two games and I don’t think they can keep pace with Toledo. Take the Rockets.
