Northern Illinois Huskies vs Ball State Cardinals. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Ball State Cardinals. Northern Illinois dropped eight of their past nine games and struggled on both ends of the court this season, ranking 322nd in scoring offense, 299th in field goal percentage, and 277th in scoring defense.

 

Ball State had some defensive issues this season (8-3 record), but I believe their offense, which ranks 78th in scoring offense, 62nd in three-pointers made per game, and 43rd in three-point field goal percentage, will be able to score plenty of points against the Huskies defense, so I’m picking Ball State to cover this large home spread. The Ball State Cardinals will win and cover the ATS to a predicted score of 78-69.
