CMU vs. Michigan Spread Pick
Buckle up, folks: Friday’s Chippewas vs. Spartans spread is so different from our projections, it’s an A+ bet recommendation for college football Week 1.
And would you believe me if I said our spread projection for CMU-MSU is nearly 10 points off?
Today, PRO Projections suggest a bet on Central Michigan plus the points.
When we look at consensus odds for Week 1, CMU is +14, and +14.5 in some spots. However, we made the Chippewas more like +5.5.
That’s good for a monster +12.5% edge and a huge, A+ selection on the underdogs to cover in East Lansing.
Three different experts are also betting Central Michigan against the spread Friday. So is big money (89%).
It’s a recommended play on the Chippewas, who are generating 3/5 PRO tools — and one massive projection edge.
PRO Report Prediction: CMU ATS
