Indiana State is 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 Saturday games. Ball State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a win and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 home games.
This is a bit of a tougher call as both teams have had their ups and downs this season and have also battled their fair share of tough opposition. Instead, I’m going to side with the over here as both teams have really found their respective scoring touch as of late and see this as a game where both squads easily get into the 70s.
