Colgate at Central Michigan Prediction: Pass at SPF’s -23.5
Analysis updated September 11, 2026 at 5:31 AM CDT
SPF’s prices point to Central Michigan as the likely winner. They don’t establish whether backing the Chippewas is worth the risk.
Betting outlook
Central Michigan must beat Colgate by at least 24 points to cover SPF’s -23.5 spread. Without confirmed starters, recent results or team statistics to assess that margin, the spread is a pass. That gap in information doesn't make Colgate +23.5 a value bet, either.
SPF lists Central Michigan at -2800 and Colgate at +1300 on the moneyline. The favorite’s price requires a win probability above roughly 96.6% to break even. Central Michigan is the market-based winner pick, but there’s no independent matchup evidence here to justify paying that price.
The total is 49.5, with over -105 and under -115. With no verified scoring or pace data to assess it, pass on the total as well.
Kickoff and venue
Central Michigan University Athletics lists kickoff for 1:02 p.m. ET on Saturday, Sept. 12, at Kramer/Deromedi Field at Kelly/Shorts Stadium in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.
