Karl Garrett 30 DIMER - CENTRAL MICHIGAN CHIPPEWAS....10 DIMER - XAVIER MUSKETEERS 30 DIMER - CENTRAL MICHIGAN CHIPPEWAS

Just can't go against the Chippewas in this game, as this is their 3rd appearence in this game in the last 4 years, and they have already won and covered the other 2 championship games, including drilling Ohio back in the 2006 season.

I have my reservations with the Bobcats, as they have relied too much on the big play and the turnover this season, and the Chipps are a team that just won't beat themselves. Not only that, but Bobcats backup QB Theo Scott is wheeling around on a bum ankle. That just isn't going to cut it against Dan LeFevour who can light you up from pretty much anywhere on the field.

Eventually this game gets away from the Bobcats.

Central Michigan is 20-9 their last 29 tries when favored, and they have also gone 8-3 against the spread overall this season.

The moment is fitting for senior LeFevour and his team to capture another MAC Championship Game. Go ahead and lay the wood with the Chippewas.

10 DIMER - XAVIER MUSKETEERS

No, this isn't your same Xavier team that is going to make it look easy night in, and night out, but I think they will be just fine tonight against the Golden Flashes, especially at home where they seldom stumble.

The Musketeers just dropped their first pair of games over the weekend in the Old Spice Classic in Orlando, Florida. Losing to Marquette and Baylor is nothing to be ashamed of, as both are quality programs. This will be a step down in competition for the X-Men, and a big step up for Kent, as they haven't exactly been playing the Baylors and the Marquettes of the world to open their season.

Kent may be 5-2, but they have beefed up against the likes of Morehead State, Rochester, and Samford.

Look for Xavier to enjoy being back at home, and to come up with a big double-digit win and cover in this one.

Lay it!
