Richmond vs Ball State Prediction

Give me a flyer with Ball State here as the underdogs. I am not sold on this Richmond defense and they are going to struggle again here. Ball State is averaging 74.6 points per game and they are going to get the offense going again here. Ball State is going to light it up in the first half and the Cardinals are going to find success here. Back Ball State to cover the spread. Don’t be shocked if Ball State gets the win here.
