    I had a discussion the other night on here, with someone that thought NIU had a chance to upset ball.


    dude, was from NIU.... but had some valid arguments about strength of schedule, but I don't put much if any emphasis on "quality losses" that NIU has. Think Ball matches up well.... they just have to come out and take care of business

      I am on NI. They covered 4 of their last 5 at ball st. Their 3 losses have been by a combined 11 points. I will take the points.

        +9.5 is over inflated...

        I'd think +7.5 is a bit more true..but the public is gonna love this ranked, undefeated team and will grab -9.5 i'm sure.

            I think they are a little overrated since they lost Dante Love

              Still a newbie here... but i've been making my picks good or poor up to you to decide. Been using that spread sheet (which, btw, i think is a really cool feature) But I'm taking NIU +9.5. They've played some close ones against Ball before. As usual just my 2 cents.

              Best of luck to all!!

                I am all over NIU here, I bought it up to 10 since its a key number. I fully expect reverse line movement here, everyone on Baller State but I see the line going down to 9 and possibly 8 by gametime.

                    I haven't broken down the teams yet....it will be a game time decision, as I have too many other things to do today. I took a quick look yesterday and Ball St. seemed like the play, but I'm not sure if it gets to 10.

                        the line isnt even close to correct...I have a huge thread on here about the upcoming upset.....However if you are on Ball St. you should wait until very close to kickoff as the line will drop sharply

                          Everyone is on NIU but the line is the same.

                          I have Ball St. in the 2nd half of a teaser from last night....I hope they win and by more than 2.

                          Good luck

                            Took NIU +10 -120. The Huskies performed better against common opponents and are playing well of late. Thinking of putting some on the +300 ML too.

                                No, 59% of bets are one Ball State as of 10:13am ET.

                                The line has gone from -9 to -9.5, matching the money, so there is no sharp action here yet.

                                  the sharp action will come in tonight shortly before kick off, when i believe you will see the line drop sharply....Just my opinion but I think any ball st backers should wait until then to place their bet

                                      I am on big ball st.
                                      I think their the better team with the more explosive offense.

                                      dbldown11, i heard you like NIU. a little.

                                            This is the first game I've seen this year that I've combined the side and total into a 5.5pt teaser. I've got NIU +14.5 w/ OVER 41.5 at +102 (5Dimes). Everything just seemed to look right to tease this game. Any thoughts?

                                                I'm on NIU at +9.5.

                                                I like NIU's defense alot. Conservatively, I believe they can hold Ball State under 21, and I am betting they will find a way to get at least 14 of their own.

                                                    Will probably do the same.
