    Ball State +7 and +250 Wednesday at NIU

    Might be worth playing. Cardinals are a very solid squad, with only one blemish on their resume (34-28 loss at Tennessee). I know NIU is the MAC darling and a public ATM (5-1 ATS last six), but I really think Ball State has the firepower to at least cover the 7 here. Should be a great game -- well, relative to MAC standards. Just worry a little about the MAC's direct involvement with trying to, ummm, "enhance" NIU's BCS chances for a repeat appearance in a major bowl game.

    Thoughts?

    Totally agree with you, but here is a link to my good friend Pivotpoints view of this game, and he does make some very good points, but it is a no play game for me, other than I might play it through "in game progressive wagering".

    Actually, I just saw that. He makes a great case for NIU.

    I think this could be a 3-4 point game either way. I'd love to get +7.5 with Ball State without it being heavily juiced, but I highly doubt it gets there.

    Can't bet against an 6th year senior at home. Or so it seems. Taking him at home. Last night's game's in the mac sealed it for me. They beat Iowa at iowa.

    It's at 7.5 at few places now. I'm still hesitant to bet vs. NIU at home though

    Have to think Lynch has a heisman night tonight at home national tv, biggest game of season. Want to lean Ball State, but just don't see how Ball State will stop NI's offense.

    There isw absolutely no way that the MAC can "enhance" NIU's chances of appearing in a BCS Bowl game. After last year's debacle against Florida State, the ONLY way NIU gets in is if Fresno Stae loses a game.

    Yeah, and unfortunately I locked in 7 last night.

    Might add to it, though, assuming there are no injuries.

    Back NIU at your own risk in the 2H.
