Go for the middle?

[cards52]

Currently I have Ball St. -16.5 -110.
I can get Miami-Ohio at +19 -106.

Is there more value in setting up the two point middle, or should I just leave it alone? My gut tells me to just route for Ball St. and appreciate a good line, but was curious what all of you thought.

Thanks.

yea if you win it's awesome but it doesn't seem worth it

Win one, lose one, or win both, that is the question? You rally have to look at the spreads and what the bosses have picked in the past for these two teams and if you look really look good they suck.

If you believe in this spread and it looks like you have a good spread! have fun, that's why they call it gambling.

IMO either Miami will heroically rise to the occasion or they will get blown off the field. In other words, if Ball State clears -16.5, it probably means they are winning by 30 in order to impress BCS voters. I don't see the middle being a good play here. In other situations, maybe.

and St.Andrew has a good point

I'd rather stay on the right side of a 3 point line move than hoping to hit a 17 or one of the rare 18's.
