It has been a long season for the Northern Illinois Huskies, who bring their 5-19 record to Ball St. to take on the 12-12 Cardinals. The Huskies have had big problems on defense when taking to the road as they are allowing 85.3ppg, leading them to an 0-12 record. Ball St. has scored 79.3ppg at home, and it has led to a 6-3 mark to the OVER. The Cardinals have loved getting into an uptempo game and should be able to get past 80 in this one. The Cards are 11-4 to the OVER in their last 15 games, and I see this one getting into the 150's. Make the play OVER the total.
