Default Ark St vs Ind St (Monday)

I cannot think of one logical reason for Ark St to be getting 4 points at Indiana St tomorrow. Let's see:

Ark St is 4-1 with a win over a solid Murray St team. Murray beat Western Kentucky badly, who clobbered Louisville Saturday. And Murray also beat Indiana St a few days ago. Ark St only loss is to Mississippi, a solid SEC team.

Indiana St is 0-4 and the best team theyve played is probably Murray St.

What am I missing here?

Arkansas St is the play. I view this as free money. I took Ark on the money line.

And they got one of their better outside shooter back from an injury 2 games ago. Is this just vegas thinking ISU is due for a win, with this home game being a good spot for it?

I hit them with the biggest play i'll have this early in the season as soon as it opened. Even their only common opponent, Murray State, was a 67-61 loss for Indiana State and a 55-47 win for Arkansas State. I don't get the +4.5 at all.

They were very good at home last year, i think 13-2, but off to an 0-2 start with losses to Murray and North Texas at home. I see the line is down to three, so at least it appears we weren't missing anything

Indiana State's main problem is two starters from last year have been out of action all year. Marco Stinson & Harry Marshall. I looked at this one for a bit, but don't see the edge. Defending the 3 point line will be the key I think. ISU hasn't been good there. Arkansas State has been better & that is ISU's key weapon if they want to win.

I am on Ark State too. Reason for somewhat fishy line is that MVC teams get a lot of respect at home. That said, Indiana State already lost at home to two mediiocre teams.
