Youngstown State is 4-9 on the road and 1-9 since the start of conference play. As a result, no one wants to touch them and the line in a game like this gets juiced. The fact is, this team is 7-5 ATS on the road and their offense is pretty good. They average 72.4 points per game which is meaningfully better than the 66.8 per game that Cleveland State averages. Of course, there's a big difference in defense, but this line is too high for Cleveland State, especially considering they are just 3-5 ATS at home this season. In short, the spread is the great equalizer. The Vikings are off a big home win and over the past three seasons, this team is 0-6 ATS at home after a double-digit home win. Take the road team and the generous points.
