Tuesday's NCAAF Game of the Day: Western Michigan at Ball State
By Covers.com
Western Michigan Broncos at Ball State Cardinals (+17.5, 61)
No. 18 Western Michigan looks to keep hopes of an undefeated season and a trip to a major bowl game alive when it visits Ball State on Tuesday in a Mid-American Conference contest. The experienced Broncos, who have not won by fewer than 14 points since a 22-21 season-opening victory over Northwestern, are winners of 10 straight games overall and stand 8-0 for the first time since 1941.
The trio of senior quarterback Zach Terrell, junior running back Jarvion Franklin and senior receiver Corey Davis continue to put up big numbers for Western Michigan, which had to rally from a first-half deficit to defeat Eastern Michigan 45-31 on Oct. 22 in its last contest. Ball State has lost four games, but the Cardinals gave Central Michigan all it could handle in a 24-21 loss on Oct. 8 while sophomore running back James Gilbert rushed for more than 100 yards in four straight contests. The Broncos rolled over Ball State 54-7 last season in Kalamazoo, Mich., but Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck told reporters his team is going to get everybody’s “best shot” the rest of the way. “We have an enormous challenge on Tuesday night,” Fleck said, “and our players understand that.”
LINE HISTORY: Western Michigan opened as big 18.5-point road favorites and on game day that spread is currently down to 17.5. The total hit the betting board at 61 and has yet to move. Check out the complete line history here.
