Ball State (-2.5) vs. Kent State (-110)

Bal State is 3-0 at home this season, including handing Ohio its only MAC loss this year in a 20-14 final on Oct. 4, and it has covered the spread in all three wins. The Cardinals were the underdog in each of their two MAC home victories, also defeating Akron, 42-28, on Oct. 18. Meanwhile, Kent State has been one of the worst road teams in the nation, losing all four of their road games by at least 35 points. The first three are more understandable, coming against Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Florida State, but Kent State also lost to Toledo, 45-10, on Oct. 18 in MAC play. The model projects Ball State to cover in 58% of simulations. Back Ball State at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users get $300 in bonus bets and 3 free months of NBA League Pass:

Northern Illinois (+14.5) vs. Toledo (-110)

Northern Illinois has been one of the more consistently winning teams in the MAC since 2010, with 11 winning seasons over those 15 years, but the Huskies are off to a slower start this year at 2-6. Still, even with the six losses, only two of them have come by more than 14 points. They are 1-3 in MAC games, and only one of those defeats came by more than 14 points. Toledo defeated Kent State, 45-10, in its most recent MAC contest, which has made the Rockets a larger favorite than maybe many would have expected when first seeing this matchup, but the Rockets are just 4-4 overall and 2-2 in conference play this season. Northern Illinois has covered this number in three of its last four meetings and 15 of its last 17 matchups. The model projects Northern Illinois to cover the spread in 65% of simulations. Back the Northern Illinois at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users get $300 in bonus bets and 3 free months of NBA League Pass:

Celtics vs. Wizards: Over 230.5 points (-110)

The Wizards ranked 29th of 30 teams in the NBA last season in scoring defense, allowing 120.4 points per game, and Washington's defense has been even worse to begin this season. The Wizards are once again 29th in scoring defense this year, but they are allowing 127 ppg over their 1-6 start. Washington has allowed at least 119 points in six of seven games this year. The Celtics are still adjusting to playing without Jayson Tatum (Achilles), but Jaylen Brown had 36 points against the Jazz on Monday and is tied for 10th in the league at 26.8 ppg this season. The model projects the Over to hit in 53% of simulations. Back the Over at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users get $300 in bonus bets and 3 free months of NBA League Pass:
