Ball State is coming into this game with a 5-1 record this season and they have been playing very well recently. They opened their season with 3 straight wins at home in dominant games before taking their only loss of the season against Evansville on the road who is currently 6-0 this season. They bounced back in their last 2 games with 2 straight wins though and again they won in dominant fashion as they won both games by 10+ points. A lot of the teams they have been beating are under .500 this season but they are going up against an Arkansas Little Rock team that is also under .500 at 2-4 this season. They have not been playing well at all this season as they only have 2 wins and both came at home against weaker opponents. They won their 1st game of the season at home against Texas State by 5 points, Texas State being 3-4 right now, and they also won their last game at home against Tulsa in OT by 2 points. Tulsa is 4-1 this season but they have had a very weak schedule to start the season and Little Rock has already lost some bad games against weak opponents. Their last 2 losses both came against Georgia State as they lost by 10+ points on the road and followed up with a loss at home in the revenge spot. Ball State lost their only road game this season but they have been playing much better in their last 2 games and they are the better team here. Ball State will cover the spread in this game.
