Free Pick: Ball State-Central Michigan

Super handicapper Matt Rivers continues to dominate since being promoted to the Show at OffshoreInsiders.com after years of being far and away the winningest handicapper at a large network of websites.

Wednesday he says to go with Ball State plus the points hosting Central Michigan. They are getting 14.5 at Bodog.

Dan Lefevour and the Chippewas are clearly the far superior team, even on the road, when compared to Ball State. The Cardinals are not close to the dominant juggernaut from a season ago as Nate Davis who led one of the most potent offenses in the country is long gone. Now at 1-9 BSU is one of the weaker teams in all of the MAC and will lose today but to get a few touchdowns at home is enough for me to back this dog in a small play.
 
CMU has blown out all comers at home but when traveling this team has been a lot more vulnerable. Meanwhile today's home boys have improved greatly of late and have been ultra competitive in tighter than expected losses against solid foes in Northern Illinois, Temple and Ohio. But today's test is a bit too large once again as 1-10 is much more than likely in the Cardinals future.
 
Central is 6-0 in the MAC and 8-2 overall including a phenomenal win at Michigan State and a cover at Arizona earlier in the season. I'm not saying this team can't travel because they are not Jekyl and Hyde like some but the highway has proven to be a lot more formidable for the Chips and in the end I think it leads to a win but non-cover by 31-21.
