Central Connecticut Blue Devils vs Montana State Bobcats Predictions

The matchup and spread

Central Connecticut State has allowed 581.5 yards per game and been outscored 122-30 in two losses, according to Montana State University Athletics, the Bobcats' official athletics site. That gives Montana State a clear weakness to attack, but SPF's -38.5 spread requires a win by at least 39 points to cash.

The Bobcats are 3-0 and average 152.3 rushing yards and 272.7 passing yards. They've also recorded six takeaways while committing one turnover. Against a Central Connecticut State offense averaging just 194.5 total yards, those numbers make Montana State the likely winner.

Montana State's latest result was a 20-7 win at Nevada on September 12. That victory doesn't establish how readily the Bobcats can reach this much larger margin, and the Blue Devils' two losses provide a narrow basis for judging the spread. Pass on either side.

Other markets

SPF lists the total at 59.5, with over -113 and under -110. Central Connecticut State's poor defense and low offensive output pull that assessment in opposite directions; pass on the total. The moneyline price is unavailable, so there's no moneyline wager.
