Saturday CFB Free play. My selection is on Central Michigan plus the points over South Alabama at 5 pm et on Saturday.
It's going to be awfully tough for South Alabama to avoid a letdown after securing perhaps the biggest win in program history - a 33-7 rout of Oklahoma State in Stillwater last Saturday. Here, it will be up against a revenge-minded Central Michigan squad that dropped a 38-24 decision, at home no less, as a six-point favorite in this matchup last season. The fact that the Chippewas 'only' lost by 14 points in that game was impressive considering they held onto the football for just 22 minutes. There's a path to success for the Chips in this rematch as they have an effective ground game and a defense that can contain the Jaguars offense. CMU QB Jase Bauer has done what's been asked of him so far this season, taking care of the football (no interceptions) and showing the ability to make plays with his legs. Note that South Alabama has lost one of its top offensive weapons, WR Devin Voisin, for the season due to a knee injury. This is simply too many points to be giving a Chips squad that will relish the opportunity to take a step down in class after travelling to South Bend to face the Irish last week. Take Central Michigan.
