The model callBall State Cardinals +34.5Handicap1.91★★★★1 starWon

Northwestern has won four of their last five matches but giving up thirty four points is asking far too much against any opponent. Ball State comes into this fixture after a poor run of form yet they might keep this margin respectable.

Why it might land
  • Northwestern won four out of their last five matches which shows they are in strong general form coming into this fixture at Ryan Field.
  • Ball State lost four of their last five matches leaving them as heavy underdogs with a very large point spread to work with.
  • The bookmakers set the handicap at thirty four and a half points which is an enormous margin for any college football team to cover.
Why it might not
  • Ball State suffered four defeats in their last five outings which suggests their defence could collapse completely under early pressure.
  • Northwestern put together a winning streak of three matches recently and could easily blow past this massive spread if their attack clicks.
