RLM in play early on this one with 60% on Ball State and line dropping from 17 to 16
-Ball State lost most of their offensive line with 3 guys going to the pros and also have a new QB at the helm
-NTexas returns their entire offensive line
-Both teams have solid running backs with Lewis for Ball State being one of the best in the country last season. How big of an impact the o-line was is still to be determined.
I think Ball State will win. But I don't see them having the talent to blow N Texas out
North Texas +16
------------------------
Baylor travels to Wake Forest
-Last year Baylor lost at home to Wake last season 41-13
-Baylor has the edge at RB Finley rushed for 865 yards and seven touchdowns in 2008 to lead the Bears but lost two o-linemen to the NFL
-Wake has the edge at QB Riley Skinner, started 37 career games for the Demon Deacons and has a career completion percentage of 67.3. Last year, he hitting 27 of 36 passes for 220 yards and three touchdowns.
Giving the home field edge to Wake with a solid veteran QB
Wake Forest -2½ (-105)
