T.M. Selection: Xavier.

I like Xavier to cover the spread against Central Michigan in this game on Wednesday. Xavier has been struggling in their games as of late but I think this is a great spot for them to be taking on a team like Central Michigan in what I think is going to be a pick-me-up game for Xavier here. Xavier has struggled a bit against some of the larger schools in their most recent games but they have looked really good against the smaller schools like Central Michigan and have already shown that they can put up big leads. Their biggest victory of the year was a 40 point win over Norfolk State and I expect this game to be similar to that one. Central Michigan has been terrible this year and they only have 1 win in 6 games, that win was by just 1 point too. Their biggest loss was to Gonzaga by 53 points this year and their smallest loss was by 7 points but they lost to Bellarmine. All of their losses except for 1 has come by double digits and they have been blown out by 28+ points in 3 of their 6 games this year, including their most recent game which was a 28 point loss to Kentucky. I think Central Michigan is going to do what they have been doing all year and fall flat on their face in this game once again. I like Xavier to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 84-52 Xavier.
