Central Michigan at Ball State

Central Michigan is 4-2 in the MAC West, one game behind Western Michigan, so expect a strong defensive effort. They've held five of their last seven opponents to 17, 16, 28, 20 and 10 points. Central Michigan is 24-11 UNDER the total after a game where they forced three or more turnovers. They face a Ball State squad that they are tied with in the MAC loss column, so it's a big game for both teams. These teams played a 24-23 game last season and Ball State is 20-9 UNDER the total following a spread cover. Go with the UNDER in this one.
