Courtesy of OddsShark.com: Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: Ohio meets Central Michigan, the Predators play in Chicago, and the Knicks try to get a victory against the Hawks in Atlanta.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

The lone college football matchup on Friday has Ohio taking on Central Michigan in the MAC championship game at Detroit‘s Ford Field. The Bobcats (9-3 SU, 7-4 ATS) got past Temple 35-17 in their last outing, with QB Theo Scott throwing three TD strikes and running for two scores in that Ohio win; Scott, though, is questionable with a sore ankle. The Chippewas (10-2 SU, 9-2 ATS) beat Northern Illinois 45-31 last week, and they’re 13-point favorites for Friday’s game.

For those who purchased Stevie’s full football season pass before NFLX, even $100 players have paid for the pick pack six-fold and counting. The rest can get the remainder of football at a drastically reduced price.
