Central Michigan is really struggling. While this is its final home game of the season, the Chippewas have been exposed in recent weeks for a poor offensive line and a defense that hasn’t maintained its early success. Ohio, on the other hand, seems to be surging and still making a push for a top MAC bowl game. Ohio’s ground game should be able to move effectively on CMU and their front line should be able to get to Rush often. Look for Ohio to win tonight.
