Ball State vs Miami (OH) Prediction
Miami (OH) has fallen on its face recently and went from being the favorites to win the MAC to possibly not even playing in the title game at all. With that said, Ball State is awful, which includes scoring single-digit points in 4 of its last 6 games. There’s no excuse for Miami (OH). Also, Miami (OH) is 3-0 ATS this season as a double-digit favorite and has won those games by an average of 21.6 points. It’s senior night for 18 seniors, and Ball State has yet to win a road game. Again, Miami (OH) has no reason not to win this game in blowout fashion. I’ll lay the chalk.
