Western Michigan at Ball State

Ball State will continue their quest to finish unbeaten as they face Western Michigan at home in their MAC finale. The Cards get a lot of ink on the offensive side of the ball, but very little is noted about their defense. The Cardinals' defense has only allowed 16.3 points per game against MAC teams this season. The Western Michigan Broncos are also characterized by a potent offense. After opening the season allowing 101 points in their first three games, the defense has gone on to allow just 17.5 ppg in their last eight. Their last three have been their best defensive efforts of the season allowing 44 total points or 14.7 ppg, with no one scoring more than 17. Although the offenses get the print, both of these defenses are out-playing the offenses, so I'll play this one to go UNDER the total.
