I hate the MAC conference because it's corrupt and the talent level is barely a step above D- III or JuCo. However, I love this play tonight!! This game reminds me a lot of Syracuse on Saturday, a game I cashed as my CFB Dog of the Year. The perception is that Ball State sucks because they are 1-10 and WMU is the superior team because they have 4 more wins!! This line opened at 10 and the public has pounded it to 11 and I want to take this opportunity to thank them!! Ball State might be 1-10 but the reality is this team has been competitive in almost every game this year!! Like Syracuse-Rutgers this is a perfect match up of strengths and weaknesses. Ball State relies heavily on the run and WMU can't stop anyone surrendering 4.8 yards per carry. Meanwhile, WMU loves to throw and that is what Ball State defends best!! The key for Ball State is to take care of the ball as many untimely mistakes have cost them games. It helps our cause knowing that WMU has coughed up the ball as much as Ball State so tonight Ball State could find themselves on the receiving end of a few gifts themselves!! I have always said the best way to defend a good passing attack is by controlling the tempo through your own ground attack and that is what Ball State possesses!! It is worth noting Ball State is 21-7 ATS L28 on the road including 9-1 ATS L10. Meanwhile, WMU is a horrible 10-22 ATS L32 at home!! It's senior night somewhere in Michigan tonight (does anyone in Michigan actually care??) but the hometown boys will be left crying!! I love Ball State tonight and they are my MAC DOG of the Year!!
Smooth 11/24
