Ohio vs. Ball State prediction: Odds, pick in the MAC tonight

Ohio Bobcats are in control of their own destiny in the MAC East after beating Miami (Ohio) 37-21 last week. Ball State needs to win one of the last two games to become bowl-eligible this season.

Ohio is -3.5 (-110) and Ball State is +3 (110).

Ohio (-170) vs. Ball State (-140) is the pick in the MAC tonight.

Ohio Bobcats have won five games in a row and are 6-0 Against the Spread this season. Quarterback Kurtis Rourke has been the main reason for Ohio's success. Ball State prefers to do damage through the air but could try to keep the ball on the ground with running back Carson Steele. Steele has 12 touchdowns this year. He has rushed for 390 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games.

Ohio has been red-hot this season and is a favorite to win the MACtion Championship. The Cardinals are going to pound the rock against a defense that is leaky against the run.
