Ball State vs. Ohio Predictions
This one could play out like a true MACtion weekday game with plenty of scoring from both sides.
Ohio has found itself in some high-scoring games this season, hitting the over in 7-of-10 games. That includes a 37-21 win over Miami Ohio last week along with a 45-24 action-packed victory against Buffalo on Nov. 1.
Ball State hasn’t played the same highwire act as Ohio, but the Cardinals’ offense can move the ball and score. Running back Carson Steele is fresh off a 28-carry and 198-yard game (3 TD) at Toledo last week. He’ll take on an Ohio team that ranks 86th in the country at 4.4 yards per carry allowed.
On top of that, we could have a rain/snow mix for this game, which potentially benefits the offense. Expect defenders to slip while trying to anticipate ball-carrier movements, and this game could turn into a wild one.
We have a slight lean on Ball State +4, but taking Over 55 seems like the better overall pick.
The Pick: Over 55 total points | -110 at BetFred Sportsbook
