[304] Ball State/ Bowling Green Under 68.5
The Falcons have been an offensive juggernaut this year, but Ohio has been solid vs the pass and on offense they will look to slow the game down, which will limit the chances of Bowling Green putting up points. Ohio cannot win a shootout so they have to try and slow the game down and Bowling Green just may have a few issues with this defense. Bowling green has allowed just 16 ppg in their last 3 games and each one of the last 4 games between these teams has seen no more than 57 points being scored. This one should follow suit.
