Central Michigan at Ball State

Ball State enters this game at 11-14, and have not shot the ball well all season at just 41.5%. That has carried over to the charity stripe as well where they hit on just 64.2%. A bigger problem is that their top two scorers who get a lot of shots both shoot the ball under 38% for the season, so this team is subject to droughts and bad nights. Central Michigan owns just a single road win on the season where they are 1-9. they have spent the bulk of those nine road games in situations where they were in over their heads. The Chippewas average road line in those nine games was +11.1. They are certainly in a better place here, and have cashed five of their last seven vs. a losing home team. The Cardinals are getting abused at home by the oddsmakers at just 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21. Take Central Michigan in this one.
