<h2>
Ball State Cardinals at Eastern Michigan Eagles Key Injury Concerns<br />
</h2>
<p>
As they prepare for this pivotal MAC contest, Ball State and Eastern Michigan have no injuries to report.

Ball State Cardinals at Eastern Michigan Eagles Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Ball State Cardinals </b>
</p>
<p>
The Cards snapped a two-game losing streak with style when they went on the road to DeKalb, Illinois, and defeated the defending MAC Champions, the Northern Illinois 27-20 despite closing as a four-point underdog at kick-off.

<p>
<b>Eastern Michigan Eagles </b>
</p>
<p>
The Eagles step into this conference clash on a low note. EMU was in action last Saturday in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, against cross-state rival Central Michigan and attained a result it would like to forget. The Eagles as a four-point favorite were upset by the Chippewas, and CMU never looked back. The final score was 42-16 in favor of the Chips. Eastern Michigan is also riding a two-game losing streak against the spread.

<h2>
Reasons To Back Ball State Cardinals<br />
</h2>
<p>
As a general rule of thumb, Eastern Michigan's dominance of this series as of late both straight up and against the spread will likely put Ball State in position to be accompanied by a favorable number. With this narrative considered, the market is still keen to make the Cardinals the favorite here regardless of whether Ball State is in position to be undervalued, which resonates strongly with me. This leads me to believe that had the Cardinals covered once or twice over the aforementioned three-game spread against EMU that they may have been spotting a touchdown here to EMU in its own yard.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Eastern Michigan Eagles<br />
</h2>
<p>
Nevertheless, the Eagles genuinely do look like easy money here to the consensus, which prompts me to back off on the underdog Eastern Michigan. 58% of the public is on EMU here with the points, and we have already begun to see the steamroll down as Eastern Michigan is now taking back one less point than it was yesterday. Public dogs are always a huge red flag and sign that the chalk could be short-sold in this contest, which plays perfectly into Ball State's hands from a situational perspective. I would not be shocked if this line crossed over with EMU closing as a small favorite, which presents a tremendous amount of potential value on Ball State.
