The pros at FiveStarPick.com will be giving our members the spread winner of tonight’s Ohio/Central Michigan game. Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Chippewas as 13.5 point favorites with at total of 54.

Central Michigan (10-2 straight up, 9-2 against the spread) returns to Detroit to play for the MAC Championship. A very familiar place for Dan LeFevour.  As a freshman, Dan LeFevour torched the Bobcats for 314 yards and 3 TDs  to lead CMU to a 31-10 win and the 2006 MAC title. A few weeks later, LeFevour beat Middle Tennessee, 31-14 as 8-point favorites in the Motor City Bowl. In 07, CMU crushed Miami (OH), 35-10 as 3-point favorties in the MAC title game. Then they played Purdue at Fort Field and lost 51-48 as a 7-point underdog. And finally, Lefevour got beat by Florida Atlantic in the Motor City Bowl, but CMU still has compiled a 4-1 against the spread record in five trips to Ford Field. Pretty solid trend. 

Ohio (9-3 SU, 8-4 Against The Spread) has won four straight, including last Friday’s 35-17 win over Temple as 2-point home dogs. Senior quarterback Theo Scott completed 17-of-21 passes for 324 yards and 3 touchdowns with no INTs. In addition, Scott ran it six times for 69 yards and a pair of rushing TDs. Scott sustained an ankle injury against the Owls and was limited at practice earlier in the week.  However, he was upgraded to “probable” yesterday and will get the start.

CMU is 5-0 against the spread as double-digit favorties, but Ohio is 4-1 against the spread as an underdog in 2009. The Bobcats have won outright in three straight games as underdogs. CMU is perfect both SU and against the spread in their last three head-to-head meetings against the Bobcats.
