The Ball St Cardinals from the Mid American Conference will travel into SEC Conference territory when they face the 3-0 Auburn Tigers in a college football game on Saturday. Kick off time in Auburn is set for 7PM Eastern Time with national television coverage provided by ESPN Game Plan college football package. The LVSC college football odds makers have set the opening point spread in this game and the Auburn Tigers opened as 27 point betting favorites. The early money from the college football betting public has been all Auburn Tigers money as the home team is now favored by 33. Totals bettors can bet into the current over under of 56. College football money line bettors can find no money line betting opportunities in this game with the Auburn Tigers such a prohibited choice in the betting as a favorite currently lined at 33.
The 2009 Auburn Tigers are an explosive offense. The Tigers average 42 points per game and 515 yards of total offense. The surprise is the fact the Auburn Tigers have been able to do this against some respectable programs like Mississippi St’s and West Virginia’s defense. Senior Tigers quarterback Chris Todd is hitting on only 53% of his passes this season for 6 touchdowns and 1 interception. Tood has been greatly aided by his running game. Senior running back Ben Tate has rushed for 349 yards with 1 touchdown on 59 carries for 5.9 yards per attempt average. Freshman running back Onterio McCalebb has rushed for 282 yards with two touchdowns on 46 rushing attempts for 6.1 yards per attempt average. So one can see with such a stout running game behind him quarterback Chris Todd needs to be more accurate than 53% as the SEC schedule will toughen. Ball St is a winless team at 0-3 on the season with their offense struggling to average just 14.3 points per game. Ball St Cardinals have done a poor job of protecting the football as the team is averaging 3 turnovers a game. Cardinal’s freshman starting quarterback Kelly Page is hitting on only 45% of his passes this season with two touchdowns and an alarming 5 interceptions on the season. Ball St has played three weak opponents in North Texas, New Hampshire and Army and one can understand why the line has steamed well in Auburns favor and why the bookmakers did not hang a money line in this game. Auburn can name the score in this game and when your offense can only average 14 points against those three opponents one would believe that Ball State would have a tough time getting to 10 points in this game against a good SEC opponent on the road.
