1-0 Friday
Cleveland State +1 vs Wright State (1)
I've seen both play maybe 6 games each and plain and simple the Vikings are better. Wright caught them shorthanded in Cleveland without Grady and Douglass and won't be so fortunate today.
Milwaukee +12' vs Green Bay (1)
Green Bay has Sykes and Brown, almost surely both first team all Horizon players which have made GB the team to beat in the conference from day one. Milwaukee is one of those teams that can be pretty good or pretty awful on any given day. This is a rivalry game and Mil took them to OT in the first tilt. Seems to me that 12' is a tad too many points here.
Kent State +5' @ EMU ( half unit play)
EMU is not built to blow people out, they are terrible offensively and rely on their zone to out tough their opponents. They have done well against their Western division foes but have struggled against the tougher east. If Kent has a little success shooting over the zone they will hang all day long. If not, they will struggle. Just a gut call here.
Central Mich +5' vs Buffalo (2)
The Chipps have been right smack dab in the middle of all their recent games so it appears that Keno's guys have improved. Buff is no great shakes when playing on the road. I like CMU to upset the Canadians here.
totals and FH plays later
