Cleveland State vs Green Bay Prediction

Cleveland State is coming into this game winning 2 of their last 3 games but they have been a very solid team all season. They have dominated their Horizon League as they are currently in 1st place with a 14-4 conference record but they are only 4-4 when playing on the road. They have a favorable matchup though as they are going up against a Green Bay team that is one of the worst in the conference with a 3-14 conference record. They have even been bad at home this season with a 4-8 record and they have lost 9 straight games coming into this one. Cleveland State is coming off of a double digit win on the road in Milwaukee and they are likely to do the same thing here as they finish with their run through Wisconsin. Green Bay has not even been keeping their games close as they have been getting smashed at home and are even coming off of a loss by more than 20 points there. Cleveland State is going to want to finish their season off strong and they should be able to roll over Green Bay here by more than 20 points.
