Eastern Michigan vs Ball State Prediction
Now we have the Eastern Michigan vs Ball State Prediction for both teams.
The Week 12 matchup between Eastern Michigan and Ball State brings together two Mid-American Conference (MAC) programs that have both shown flashes of potential but struggled with consistency throughout the season. Eastern Michigan comes into this game with a solid track record against the spread (4-1 in their last five) and a recent trend toward lower-scoring outcomes, as four of their last six games have gone under the total. Meanwhile, Ball State has quietly covered in six of its last eight contests, relying on a defense that has helped keep them competitive despite offensive limitations. The head-to-head history between these teams also paints an intriguing picture: Eastern Michigan has dominated the spread in recent years, covering six of the last eight meetings and going 5-0 ATS in their last five trips to Muncie. However, Ball State has been excellent at home against most other opponents, boasting a 12-1 ATS record in their last 13 home games. With so many opposing trends in play, bettors will have to decide whether Eastern Michigan’s ATS dominance in this rivalry can overcome Ball State’s home-field advantage and improved recent form.
For Eastern Michigan, the offense has been middle-of-the-pack statistically but efficient enough to stay in games. The Eagles average 24.4 points per game (90th nationally) and have shown a balanced approach with 226.1 passing yards and 142.5 rushing yards per contest. Quarterback play has been serviceable, with the offense ranking 72nd in passing yards and 48th in completions per game, while the run game has contributed over four yards per carry. One area where Eastern Michigan has been strong is ball security — ranking in the top 10 nationally in both fumbles and turnovers — which helps them maximize limited possessions. Defensively, however, the Eagles have had issues stopping the run, allowing a concerning 232.2 rushing yards per game (136th in FBS). This imbalance has forced them to rely on red zone defense and turnover creation to stay competitive. Still, Eastern Michigan’s ability to cover spreads against MAC West opponents (9-4 ATS in their last 13) suggests they often outperform market expectations, especially in conference play. If they can avoid falling behind early and continue protecting the football, they’ll have a real shot at extending their winning streak against Ball State.
On the other side, Ball State continues to fight through offensive struggles that have defined much of their 2025 campaign. The Cardinals are averaging just 16.4 points per game — one of the lowest marks in FBS — and rank outside the top 100 in nearly every major offensive category, including total yards and yards per play (4.55). Their passing game has been particularly ineffective, averaging just 134.6 yards through the air per game, which makes it difficult to mount comebacks when falling behind. However, Ball State’s defense has been a bright spot, holding opponents to 27.9 points and just 227.6 passing yards per game. The team’s ability to cover spreads at home (12-1 ATS in their last 13 home contests) speaks to their knack for grinding out close, low-scoring games. Against Eastern Michigan, they’ll need to rely on that defense to pressure the quarterback and limit big plays while hoping the offense can take advantage of the Eagles’ soft run defense. Given their recent success in tight games and a string of unders in their contests, this matchup could be decided by which team capitalizes on turnovers and field position.
