This Ohio vs Central Michigan game is expected to be an exciting matchup between these two college football teams.

Ohio to Lean On Its Defense On Saturday

The Ohio Bobcats are 3-2 overall this season and 1-0 in the MAC. They won their conference opener against the Akron Zips, who are among the worst teams in college football this year. But in that game, Ohio played very well on defense, which has become a common theme in their games against teams outside of the power conferences in 2024. While Ohio has allowed 39.5 points per game to power conference opponents, they have allowed just 12 points per game to the three teams they have played outside of the power four leagues.

Central Michigan Looks For Third Straight Win

Central Michigan is also 3-2 this season and 1-0 in the MAC. The Chippewas got a win in their conference opener against the Ball State Cardinals, putting up 37 points in what was a tight game at home. While Central Michigan's offense was encouraging in that contest, they will need to be better on the defensive side of the ball if they want to improve to 2-0 in the MAC and stay above .500 after this game is done.

Ohio vs Central Michigan Betting Prediction

While we are concerned about the defense of Central Michigan going into this game, we will back them to cover the spread in this Ohio vs Central Michigan matchup. Ohio has yet to pass a test on the road this year and we should see their defense suffer a bit in their first road game of the year against a team that isn't from a power four conference, while the Chippewas will improve to 4-2 with a win on their home turf.
