Premium Pick
1.5 units on Loyola Chicago -235 (moneyline) (risk 1.5 to return 2.14)
Result:
LOSS

Ball State is giving up 79.5 points per game on the road and faces a Loyola-Chicago squad that won 32 games last season on the way to the Final Four. Ball State hasn't done well stepping up, with losses to Purdue, Virginia Tech and Alabama. They also went to overtime against a 3-5 Appalachian State team. That defense will get a stiff test against a terrific Loyola-Chicago offense that is ranked #12 in the country shooting 50.2% from the field and 32.7% from long range. When scoring 70 points or more, the Ramblers are 5-0 straight-up this season so the value is on the home team to win the game. Play Loyola-Chicago on the moneyline.
