Ball State vs Evansville Prediction
In this Ball State vs Evansville Prediction, Evansville is coming as -6.5 home favorites. Both teams have identical overall records this season and Evansville have been mediocre at home and Ball State winless on the road. They have both been terrile against the spread, with 2-4 and 2-5 records respectively, so I see no value on either side. They both have terrible offenses, as they score just 136.6 points per game combined this season and Ball State is 5-2 to the under this season. I expect a low-scoring affair today, so take the under 137 points.
