Western Michigan (-11) for 1 Unit *
Ball State/W.Michigan 7:00: Surely W. Michigan's defense is not what we want as double digit chalk; however, Ball State's offensive struggles should continue tonight to enable the Broncos to deliver. Ball State's QB Tanner Justice, who was anointed starter after Page went down with a season ending injury, has not been hitting his mark (49% completions / 2 TDs to 4 INTs); as a result, the once potent run game has stalled out with opposing teams loading the box out of disrespect for the Ball State air game. With extra prep time, we'll look for a better defensive effort out of the Broncos tonight. And throw in double revenge from the last two years of taking it on the chin when current NFL QB Nate Davis was picking apart their defense. WM as a small play tonight.
