Little Rock vs Ball State Prediction
There are better options out there on this CBB Saturday, but I’m going to side with Ball State. Little Rock hasn’t looked good on either side of the ball, and it’s 1-7-1 ATS in its last 9 games overall. Ball State has its things it needs to worry about as well, but it did beat and cover against ULL, which is the one positive between these teams. I’m going to lean toward Ball State in this spot against a Little Rock squad that’s been underwhelming and hasn’t covered numbers dating back to last season.
