Western Michigan Looks to Win MAC Opener
Going into this weekend, the Western Michigan Broncos are 1-3 and have yet to defeat an opponent from the FBS. They lost to two Big Ten teams to start their season in Ohio State and Wisconsin, with their most recent loss coming against the Marshall Thundering Herd. This week, Western Michigan has its best chance to win a game against an FBS foe that they've seen this year, as they face a Ball State team that has also not won against an FBS team in 2024. If that is going to happen, the Broncos offense needs to get going, as they have yet to score more than 20 points in a game against an FBS team this year.
Ball State Riding Three-Game Losing Streak
Ball State is 1-3 this season and they lost their first game against a MAC opponent two weeks ago, when they lost to Central Michigan. Last week, the Cardinals were blown out by James Madison, who hung 63 points on the Cardinals in that matchup. This week, Ball State's defense has to be tougher if they want to find their way into the win column for the first time since their season opener against Missouri State of the FCS. They have allowed 37 or more points in three straight games and that will not be good enough to win here either.
Western Michigan vs Ball State Prediction
We expect the Western Michigan Broncos to come out on top of this game in the MAC. But instead of laying the points with the favorite in this Western Michigan vs Ball State matchup, we will take the over instead. The Cardinals should be able to do a little offensively at home against a conference opponent that has had similar struggles, while Western Michigan could put up a big number on the offensive side of the ball on Saturday.
