This is a 10* ART OF WAR on Ball State.

Sometimes we feel it's necessary to completely dissect a contest, looking at situational and motivational factors, ATS trends, scheduling and other external issues which may effect the game and other times we feel that a more common sense approach is the best way to handicap, and that's the case here. In our professional opinion, this sets up as a classic "look ahead/letdown" spot for Northwestern, which has opened the season with three straight SU/ATS victories, over Stanford, EIU and at Duke last week. Now the team is being asked to play lowly Ball State, before a game at home vs. conference rival Minnesota. It's a classic spot bet. The Cardinals can take advantage, they're 2-1 SU to open the season, coming off a convincing 28-17 win at EMU last week; also note that Ball State has performed well in this position for bettors, going 6-4 ATS in its last ten off a win vs. a division rival and 9-5 ATS in its last 14 on the road. And note that this is a spot in which Northwestern has struggled in, going just 3-9 ATS in its last 12 as a favorite, just 5-11 ATS in its last 16 at home and only 2-5 ATS in its last seven after two or more consecutive SU wins. Grab as many points as you can with BALL STATE.
