I think Cleveland State with the help of their defense, who only allow 61 points when playing at home,will be able to take this game. I think it will be a close battle but the discipline of the Vikings on the defensive end will make a few critical stops down the stretch leading to free throw opportunities and my best bet is CLEVE -3.5. Final Score Prediction the Cleveland State Vikings win, cover the spread, and the total stays under 68-62.
