Wyoming vs Central Michigan Prediction
In this Wyoming vs Central Michigan Prediction, Central Michigan is coming as -1.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming off their first wins of the season in the previous week, but both failed to cover the spread and both played excellent defense, holding their opponents into just 13 and 10 points respectively. Central Michigan has also been terrible offensively with just 10 points per game and both teams’ last three games combined have gone under the total. I don’t trust either side and I expect this to be a low-scoring game, as the low total suggests. Take the under 38.5 points in this one.
