4* Free Week 11 NCAA Betting Prediction: Ball State +10
It’s a fact that Northern Illinois are 6-14 SU in their last 20, which doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzy’s for this one.
Does it for you?
Here’s a couple more FACTS… NIU are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 at home, and Ball State are 5-1 ATS in their L6 in November.
Considering Ball State’s strong performance in the running game against Central Michigan and the fact that they’re up against a Northern Illinois defense that struggled to stop the run against Bowling Green, I’m taking Ball State at +10 for this game.
My model for this one is coming in at 43 for an Over/Under projection.
We’re locking in the OVER in this one on Tuesday, and it’s guaranteed to be the typical MACTION game we’re wanting to see.
The total has gone OVER in 13 of NIU’s last 20, and in 5 of their last 7 against MAC teams.
