Ball State Cardinals vs Western Michigan Broncos Betting Prediction
Now we have the Ball State Cardinals vs Western Michigan Broncos Betting Prediction for both teams.
The matchup trends and statistical profiles suggest this could be a low-scoring, grind-it-out Mid-American Conference battle. Ball State has a strong record ATS versus MAC opponents (12-3 in their last 15), and while their offense is far from dynamic, their defense is just good enough to keep games close when they avoid costly turnovers. Western Michigan’s consistent play at home and defensive reliability give them the upper hand, especially considering Ball State’s winless streak on the road. Expect the Broncos to control possession, lean on their running game, and capitalize on Ball State’s offensive inefficiencies. It might not be pretty, but Western Michigan should have enough to cover the number and pull away late in front of their home crowd.
Ball State Cardinals vs Western Michigan Broncos Betting Prediction: Ball State
The Ball State Cardinals head into Week 7 looking to keep momentum alive after a scrappy 20-14 win over Ohio, marking one of their few bright spots in what’s been a rollercoaster stretch of football. Despite a rough start to the season, Ball State’s recent trends against the spread (4-1 in their last five) suggest they’ve found a bit of rhythm in covering large lines and keeping games competitive. Their offensive production, however, remains a major concern—averaging just 16.4 points per game, ranking near the bottom nationally. The Cardinals’ passing attack has been largely stagnant, generating only 135.2 yards per game through the air, and they’ve relied heavily on their rushing game to keep drives alive. Fortunately, Ball State has shown discipline—ranking among the top 20 nationally in penalties and turnovers—which could help them stay within striking distance against a disciplined Western Michigan defense.

Ball State Cardinals vs Western Michigan Broncos Betting Prediction: Western Michigan
Western Michigan, on the other hand, comes into this matchup looking like a team that’s finally putting the pieces together. The Broncos have been reliable at home, posting a 6-1 record against the spread in their last seven home games and winning five of their last six overall ATS. Their recent 21-3 victory over UMass showcased their defensive strength, as they held the Minutemen to minimal offensive production and controlled the pace of the game. Statistically, Western Michigan’s offense isn’t flashy—they average just under 20 points per game—but they’ve shown an ability to take advantage of weaker defensive fronts and dominate time of possession. Against a Ball State defense allowing over 29 points per game and nearly 250 yards through the air, this could be a good spot for the Broncos to find rhythm offensively, particularly on the ground where Ball State’s defense has struggled to stop consistent rushing attacks.
