Western Michigan Broncos vs. Ball State Cardinals Preview and Predictions 11-13-2018

NCAAF Predictions 9th November 2018 By Charles Jay for Scores And Stats
by Charles Jay Scores & Stats on 11/09/2018

For the Western Michigan Broncos, this season has quickly turned into a disaster. Fortunately, there is some time to get things headed back in the right direction, and head coach Tim Lester is really digging deep, looking for signs of encouragement.

The Ball State Cardinals won't be going bowling this year, but it looks like things didn't fall apart with their new quarterback last week, perhaps giving them something to build on.

These teams will get together on Tuesday night at Scheumann Stadium in Muncie, IN.

TV: ESPN2, 6 PM ET. LINE: N/A

ABOUT WESTERN MICHIGAN: These last two losses have been hard to take for WMU (6-4 SU, 3-7 ATS), especially as it looks like the Broncos were on something of a roll, having won six straight games going into their October 25 date against Toledo. But then disaster struck, as starting quarterback Jon Wassink injured his foot and had to be replaced by a raw freshman, Kaleb Eleby, who did a credible enough job, throwing for 293 yards. But the defense looked like it was standing still, letting the Rockets run up and down the field in a 51-24 loss. With Eleby having one game under his belt, the feeling was that the offense might run a little smoother the next time around, but Western Michigan never got out of the gate at all, turning the ball over five times in the first half against Ohio and going to the locker room down 45-0. With the 59-14 final, it was the first time the Broncos have ever allowed conference opponents to score 50 points or more against them in consecutive weeks. Head coach Tim Lester almost had no choice but to point toward the second-half performance against the Bobcats, in which WMU outgained them 151-147, as a situation where "I felt we started to turn the page." That may sound desperate, but this is a bowl-eligible team that still has a chance to win its last two games and close out the regular season with eight victories. Lester calls this Tuesday night's contest "the most game of the year for us." They have the ability to take some pressure off Eleby; the Broncos have a solid ground game with LeVante Bellamy and Jamauri Bogan and get pretty good work from the offensive line, which is in the top 25 in both sacks allowed and Tackles for Loss allowed.

ABOUT BALL STATE: You would think a team that intercepted five of its opponent’s passes would have a clear path to victory. But that wasn't the case for Ball State (3-7 SU, 4-6 ATS) last time out, as Toledo beat them by a 45-13 count. The other part of the story is that the Cardinals also turned the ball over five times, and had to play without running backs James Gilbert and Caleb Huntley, who may or may not be available this week. Most significantly, however, quarterback Riley Neal was absent due to injury, but perhaps Mike Neu's team is not helpless at that position, as Drew Plitt came in and threw for 340 yards. There were a lot of opportunities in this game; in fact, Ball State had the ball in its hands six different times before the first quarter was over. But in many respects, it's the same old story for the Cardinals – they gain a respectable amount of yards (56th nationally in Total Offense) but don't light up the board a lot (114th in Scoring Offense). They are 128th among the nation's 130 FBS teams as far as the "Yards Per Point" statistic is concerned. So we will see how Plitt can help improve upon that. And we'll also see how Brandon Martin, who intercepted a pass and had fourteen tackles against Toledo, more than any other Cardinal player this season, continues to lead the defense, which has had problems stopping the run (allowing 215.3 yards per game and 4.9 yards per attempt).

EXTRA POINTS

1. This week it was announced that Western Michigan quarterback Jon Wassink, 33rd in the nation in Passing Efficiency, who injured his foot against Toledo, won't likely be able to return for any bowl game in December. He underwent surgery on November 2.

2. The five interceptions Ball State had against Toledo were their most in any game since they picked off six passes against Evansville in 1970.

3. Western Michigan ranks #37 nationally in both Total Offense and Scoring Offense. Oddly, Ball State has converted 42.6% of its third-down situations, ranking in the top 40 in the nation, though they have very few points to show for it.

PREDICTION: Western Michigan 35, Ball State 23

# 1 LION SLEEPS 2/1

# 2 EDEN RIDGE 7/2

# 3 MARK TWAIN 6/1

I favor LION SLEEPS here. He looks respectable in this spot and I expect will be on the front end or close at the midpoint. Had one of the best speed figures of this group in his last contest. Has put up formidable Equibase Speed Figures in dirt route races in the past. EDEN RIDGE - Is worth a look and may be a wager - strong Equibase Speed Figs (85 average) at today's distance and surface lately. Has to be given a shot - I like the figs from the last race. MARK TWAIN - His chances to win are much better this time around facing this less demanding field of horses. Has performed soundly lately in route races, posting a nifty 86 avg speed rating.

The Walker Group Picks

# 8 FASHION PROSPECT 7/2

# 6 LIL' QUARTER CHUTE 3/1

# 7 ATTA BOY BEAR 9/2

FASHION PROSPECT looks to be a decent contender. Could provide positive gains based on very good recent Equibase Speed Figures with an average of 78. This gelding looks strong for this race since Whiteside has a strong winning percentage with horses going this distance. Looks respectable to be up on the lead at the first call. LIL' QUARTER CHUTE - Has respectable Equibase speed figs and has to be considered for a wager for this race. With a respectable 85 speed figure last time out, will clearly be a factor in this contest. ATTA BOY BEAR - Has a solid shot in this contest if you like back class. Ran a sharp last race.

Parx Racing - Race #8 - Post: 3:34pm - Allowance - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $39,000 Class Rating: 77

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#1 MY CANDY FOREST (ML=4/1)
#6 LA BELLA PINA (ML=9/5)
#4 ROLL ON BIG MAMA (ML=9/2)

MY CANDY FOREST - May have to bet on this beautiful animal in this race. She has been claimed in each of her last two starts. A win percent the likes of what Torres and Zulueta have achieved together is out of sight. Ran last time out against much better horses at Parx Racing. The move down the ladder based on class rating points should suit her well. This mount wins a lot of money per race around the track. I believe she will boost that bankroll in this event. Getting a weight break of 6 lbs from last race at Parx Racing on Oct 21st. Should be helpful right here. LA BELLA PINA - The most dangerous animal in racing is the lone speed horse. If they let her get away early they probably won't catch her. ROLL ON BIG MAMA - Ran a lackluster race at Parx Racing last time around the track. Racing without the slop puts this filly at the top of my contenders list.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1A BERBERSLILBRIEBRIE (ML=4/1), #3 BRAYDENS START (ML=5/1), #5 WHITNEY COVE (ML=6/1),

BERBERSLILBRIEBRIE - Will probably be far back with too much to do down the stretch. BRAYDENS START - The Brain tells me to stay away from horses in sprint races that haven't hit the board in short distance events recently. Didn't land in the top three on October 5th at Keeneland. Followed it up with another less than stellar try. Mediocre speed fig in the last race at Keeneland at 7 furlongs. Don't feel this pony will improve too much in today's event. WHITNEY COVE - This come from behinder will probably be closing much too late to make a mark in this clash.

#1 RIVERONFIRE (ML=6/1)

RIVERONFIRE - Was in a $6,250 Claiming race at Albuquerque last time out. That clash had an Equibase class figure of 81 and she is moving down today. A certain contender.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 SIDEPOCKET BET (ML=3/1), #8 HENNESSY STORM (ML=7/2), #9 MULBERRY (ML=4/1),

SIDEPOCKET BET - You should normally wager against morning-line choices that haven't raced or show no activity in the morning over the last three weeks. HENNESSY STORM - This low class level animal will probably get leg weary in the stretch this time out after back to back relentless efforts. Today's contest is 6 furlongs. Hasn't finished in the money in a short distance event in the last two months. Not the best of signs. MULBERRY - Difficult to bet on this horse this time out. Make her show you something in a sprint race before you bet on her in a race of 6 furlongs.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - RIVERONFIRE - This mare's superior last speed number of 75, against these thoroughbreds, makes her the overwhelming choice.

Sportsbook:

This team features the 1-0 Wisconsin Badgers and the 2-0 Xavier Musketeers. These two teams have quite the rivalry and going into this game the Badgers look for revenge from last season when Xavier beat them at home and then mocked their home crowd. Wisconsin and most BIG TEN schools focus their play on defense and the Badgers are no different. Xavier has young players and a new coach I expect them to struggle tonight at home love the under here for a 8* winner.

The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Wisconsin's last 13 games on the road

Games to Watch - Week 5

It’s still very early in the NBA season, but it already looks as though we are going to get a rather entertaining battle in the Western Conference. The Golden State Warriors are at the top, as we all expected, but there is not a huge gap between them and the other seven teams in the playoff spots right now.

Things are a little more lopsided in the East, with the Raptors looking the team to beat in the early going. Things may change up this week, as we once again have a very busy schedule on tap.

Let’s look ahead at some of the better games on the NBA calendar this week.

Tuesday - Houston Rockets at Denver Nuggets

What exactly is going on with the Houston Rockets this season? This was the team that won the Western Conference last season and who were expected to challenge for it again this year. As of now, they are 2 games below .500 and sitting below the playoff line. They have been better on the road, though, going 4-3 thus far. The Nuggets are up in the #3 spot with a 9-4 record, but they are starting this week on a 3-game losing skid. They have also lost their last 7 meetings with Houston, so we may just see the Rockets get this week started with a win.

Wednesday - Portland Trail Blazers at Los Angeles Lakers

While we may still be very early in the season, a weird scheduling quirk has seen these two teams hook up twice already, splitting those earlier games. It was the Lakers who won the last meeting, bringing an end to a 16-game losing streak at the hands of the Trail Blazers in the process. This will be the first meeting between these two in LA this season, which may just give a slight edge to the Lakers. That said, Portland have a decent 3-1 road record to start the season and are also on a 4-game winning streak. I am on Portland to get the win here.

Thursday - Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets

It’s a little surprising not to see these two teams battling it out for the top spot in the Western Conference right now, but with the Rockets entering the week a couple of games below .500, it looks as though we might not see that battle at all this season. The Warriors are once again off to a great start, going 11-2 through their first 13 games, which includes a 4-1 record on the road. The Rockets have been pretty awful at home, going just 1-4 through their first 5 games there. This looks like a win for the Warriors.

Tuesday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Rockets at Nuggets – 9:05 PM EST

It’s been a tough encore season for Houston (5-7 SU, 4-8 ATS), who owned the top record in the NBA last season at 65-17. The Rockets started 1-5, but rebounded with three consecutive victories at Brooklyn, Chicago, and Indiana. Houston couldn’t quite reach the .500 mark as the sputtering offense was limited to 80 points at Oklahoma City and 89 points at San Antonio in a pair of low-scoring losses.

The Rockets’ offense got back on track at home on Sunday in a 115-103 triumph over the Pacers to grab the season sweep of Indiana. Houston finally picked up its first cover at Toyota Center in five tries this season, highlighted by a 44-point second quarter. James Harden posted his best offensive performance of the season with 40 points, including hitting eight three-pointers. Last season’s MVP bounced back from a horrific shooting effort in Saturday’s loss at San Antonio in which Harden converted only 1-of-13 attempts from downtown.

The Nuggets (9-4 SU, 7-6 ATS) stormed out to a red-hot 9-1 start, but have stumbled of late by dropping three consecutive games. After losing in the final seconds at Memphis last Wednesday, Denver was stunned at home by Brooklyn, followed by a seven-point defeat at Pepsi Center to Milwaukee. Paul Millsap paced the Nuggets with 25 points and Denver drilled 18 three-pointers on Sunday night, but allowed the Bucks to shoot 57% from the floor as the Nuggets hit back-to-back OVERS for the first time this season.

This series has been owned by the Rockets recently as Houston has won seven consecutive matchups, including a three-game sweep last season. In the lone meeting at Pepsi Center, Houston jumped out to a 13-point lead after one quarter and held off Denver, 119-114 to cash as 4 ½-point road favorites. Harden led the way with 41 points, while Chris Paul chipped in 23 points for the Rockets, who have won in each of the past three visits to Denver.

Quick Turnaround

The Warriors (11-3 SU, 8-6 ATS) lost for the second time in three games following a 10-1 start as Golden State plays with no rest against Atlanta. The defending champions rallied from a nine-point deficit to force overtime last night against the Clippers, but L.A. picked up the 121-116 triumph as 3 ½-point underdogs. Kevin Durant paced the Warriors with a triple-double (33 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists), while Klay Thompson scored 31 points as he attempted 31 field goals.

Stephen Curry sat out for the second straight game with a groin injury, as the two-time MVP will not suit up tonight. Golden State has actually fared better as a heavy favorite this season by owning an 8-2 ATS mark when laying at least seven points (0-4 ATS as a six-point favorite or less). The Warriors head back on the highway for three games starting Thursday in Texas, as Golden State hooks up with Houston in a Western Conference Finals rematch.

The Hawks (3-10 SU, 5-8 ATS) continue a four-game road swing after dropping a one-point decision to the Lakers on Sunday night. Atlanta grabbed the cover as 11-point underdogs, but the Hawks lost for the eighth time in nine games. Rookie Trae Young registered his fifth double-double of the season by scoring 20 points and dishing out 12 assists against Los Angeles, as Atlanta cashed in its second straight opportunity as a double-digit ‘dog.

Golden State has won seven consecutive meetings with Atlanta since March 2015, as the Hawks have covered in two of their past three meetings at Oracle Arena. The Warriors have stepped up with no rest this season by blasting the Suns by 20 points and crushing the Bulls by 25 points last month.

End of the Road

The Hornets (7-6 SU, 9-4 ATS) wrap up their three-game road trip as Charlotte tries to pick up back-to-back wins for the third time this season. After falling short in overtime at Philadelphia on Friday, 133-132, the Hornets rebounded by knocking off the Pistons on Sunday, 113-103. Charlotte pulled away in the second half thanks to Kemba Walker’s 24 points, while veteran guard Tony Parker put up 24 points off the bench for the Hornets’ second consecutive cover.

Charlotte is flipped to a road favorite tonight at Cleveland as the Cavaliers (1-11 SU, 6-6 ATS) are seeking their first victory of November. The Cavs rallied from an early 14-point deficit against the Bulls on Saturday, but lost a 99-98 decision at the United Center as 4 ½-point underdogs. The backcourt duo of Collin Sexton and Rodney Hood each scored 20 points, while Cleveland outrebounded Chicago, 53-38 in the loss.

The Cavaliers are riding a five-game UNDER streak, while scoring 98 points or fewer four times in this stretch. Cleveland’s worst loss of the season came at Charlotte on November 3 in a 126-94 setback as 9 ½-point underdogs. The Hornets scorched the Cavs for 57% shooting from the floor, as seven Charlotte players finished in double-figures. Cleveland owns an 0-3 SU/ATS mark as a home underdog this season, while Charlotte lost in its last road favorite opportunity at Chicago on October 24.
