Ball State at Toledo

A look ahead for first place Toledo (10-3), tied with Western Michigan in the MAC West for first place. Toledo plays Northern Illinois and Western Michigan the next two games, a revenge game against WM, as well. Toledo is on a 1-5 ATS run, and the Rockets are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven home games. Last place Ball State is in town, a senior laden team that has not quit. They haven't won since January 23, but have lost five of the last six by 2, 7, 11, 2, and 6 points (two in overtime). They come off a triple-overtime loss Wednesday at Central Michigan.  The teams split two contests last season, and Toledo won the first meeting this year in Muncie. The Cardinals rallied from double-digit deficits twice and were within a single possession in the final minute, but could not get over the hump. Rian Pearson’s fade-away jumper with 28 seconds to play sealed it for the Rockets. Ball State covered as a +10 dog, and the underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between these MAC rivals. Play Ball State.
