Ball State @ Western Michigan (WMU -6.5, 63) 8 PM
In 5 home games this season, the Broncos have allowed 12.8 ppg and no more than 16, while Ball State has scored between 21-31 points in 6 of 8 games. Ball State has allowed 23 points or less in 4 of their last 5 games. Western Michigan has scored 38 ppg in their last 3 games, however that is against 3 of the bottom 4 defenses in the MAC (Ball State ranked in the middle of the MAC defensively). The total is a little inflated because these are the top two scoring teams in the MAC, but I think those number might be a little skewed. Take the under.
Final Prediction: Ball State 24 Western Michigan 31
Bet: Under 63
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: Ball State 31 Western Michigan 35
Kent State @ Toledo (TOL -6.5, 64) 7 PM
Kent State’s schedule makes them a tough read. They’ve lost @ Arizona State, @ Auburn and @Wisconsin. They beat DII school Kennesaw State in overtime 26-23. They are currently 2-2 in the MAC (2 wins against combined 3-15, 2 losses against combined 8-8). Toledo has allowed at least 20 points in 7 of their 8 games, but have scored at least 24 in 6 of their 8 games. The Rockets are 4-0 at home while the Golden Flashes are 1-4 on the road. Give me Toledo to cover at home.
