Cleveland State has won 4 of their last 6 games and has been solid on both ends of the court as the Vikings come into this game ranked 57^th in scoring offense, 30^th in FG%, & 94^th in defensive FG%. Green Bay has been one of the worst teams in the Horizon this season and comes into this game ranked 343^rd in scoring offense, 308^th in FG%, & 322^nd in defensive FG%. Green Bay is just 4-8 at home this season and as I just don’t see the Green Bay offense having much success in this one, I think Cleveland State will be able to do enough to win this one by double-digits and cover this spread. Good Luck!
