Ball State vs Lafayette Prediction

In this Ball State vs Lafayette Prediction, Ball State is coming as -1.5 road favorites. Ball State has been the better team this season, as Lafayette has won only once in its 7 games played. Both teams are coming into this matchup in terrible form, as they have five and four consecutive losses respectively and are both on the second leg of a back-to-back. Both offenses have been struggling this season, as they score just 135.9 points per game combined and today’s total is set at 142.5 points. I expect a low-scoring affair today, so go under that number.
