After three games on the road, the Ohio Bobcats are heading back home. The Bobcats and the Central Michigan Chippewas will face off in a Mid-American battle at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Peden Stadium. Ohio should still be riding high after a victory, while CMU will be looking to right the ship.
It was all tied up 10-10 at the half for Ohio and the Akron Zips last week, but Ohio stepped up in the second half for a 34-17 win.
Meanwhile, CMU came up short against the Miami (OH) RedHawks last week, falling 28-17.
Ohio is expected to lose this next one by 5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread last week might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
The Bobcats are now 1-4 while the Chippewas sit at 2-3. A pair of defensive stats to keep an eye on: Ohio is stumbling into the contest with the 237th most rushing touchdowns allowed in the nation, having given up 13 on the season. CMU has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 240th worst in the nation in passing touchdowns allowed, with 13 on the season. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
