Ball State Looks to Bounce Back From Blowout Loss
The Ball State Cardinals are 1-1 this season, having beat FCS Missouri State before losing 62-0 to the Miami Hurricanes in their last outing. There is certainly no shame in losing by a huge margin to this Miami team, given that they have the Heisman Trophy frontrunner in Cam Ward leading their offense. This week, Ball State faces a much more beatable opponent, as they look for their first win over an FBS opponent this year with a chance to get off to a 1-0 start in MAC play.
Central Michigan Seeks First FBS Win
Going into their MAC opener against Ball State, the Central Michigan Chippewas are 1-2. Their lone win came in their season opener against FCS Central Connecticut. Since then, the Chippewas have lost two straight games to Florida International and Illinois. This week, the defense of Central Michigan will be the biggest question mark as they look to get their first win over an FBS foe this year, as the Chips have allowed 41 points per game over their last two games against FIU and Illinois.
Ball State vs Central Michigan Best Bet
These teams have not done much to inspire confidence in them heading into their first game of the MAC football season on each side. But we will take the points with the underdog in this Ball State vs Central Michigan matchup. The defense of Central Michigan has been downright alarming of late, giving up 52 points to FIU just a couple of games ago. Ball State may not win this game outright on the road, but they should do enough scoring to keep this one interesting throughout.
