Week 7 MAC predictions

[MarkL]

Up to week 6, here's the totals:

jpfalcon09 47 - 14
bgsufalcon24 45 - 16
LowryFalcon 44 - 17
MarkL 42 - 19
VDub26Falcon 33 - 15
daspollak 33 - 15
BGFalconfromCincy 31 - 14
falconfan1999 27 - 10
svillefalcon 27 - 11
footballguy51 25 - 13
Chimie 19 - 8

I stunk it up this week. JPFalcon should pick lottery numbers.

All 13 teams play on Saturday. Here's the matchups for this week:

Saturday
Miami at Cent. Michigan 12:00 pm
East. Michigan at Ball St. 1:00 pm
Bowling Green at Temple 1:00 pm
Akron at Ohio 2:00 pm
W. Michigan at Notre Dame 2:30 pm
Buffalo at Northern Illinois 3:30 pm
Kent St. at Toledo 7:00 pm

And my picks. Hopefully better than last week ...

Miami at Cent. Michigan. Winner: Central Michigan. Both teams are hard to read.
East. Michigan at Ball St. Winner: Ball State. EMU sucks, and BSU is not much better. BSU at home.
Bowling Green at Temple. Winner: BG. BG turns the season around and Temple has a tough game after a disappointing last week.
Akron at Ohio. Winner: Ohio. I picked Akron last week, and that was dumb. Not doing that again, even if they play Wofford.
W. Michigan at Notre Dame. Winner: Notre Dame. I want WMU to win. It's just not going to happen.
Buffalo at Northern Illinois. Winner: NIU. NIU is hot right now and UB is not going to slow them down.
Kent St. at Toledo. Winner: Kent. Kent's rush defense is top of the NCAA right now and their defense is all around good. I'll take them in a low scoring game.

Enjoy!

My picks, and maybe next year we should also pick using the spread.

CMU: I think this could go either way, but CMU at home seems like the smarter pick.

Ball St.: Till they win one, I will never pick EMU.

Temple: I am as big of a homer as they come, but I could probably run for 100 on BG's D. Temple will rack up they yards and the score.

Ohio: Not because Ohio is good, but because Akron sucks!

ND: Even a crappy ND team is still better than the MAC.

NIU: The cream of the conference will win.

Kent St.: Coming off a rivalry win, and UT is coming off 2 losses.

Miami at Cent. Michigan 12:00 pm I like Central in this game, but it will be very close and could easily go either way!
East. Michigan at Ball St. 1:00 pm Ball St. will win because EMU is lousy
Bowling Green at Temple 1:00 pm Temple will win because one of two things will happen: our offense won't move the ball or our defense won't bother to tackle anyone.
Akron at Ohio 2:00 pm Ohio will win because Akron is lousy
W. Michigan at Notre Dame 2:30 pm Notre Dame will win because Western is lousy.... (notice a trend?)
Buffalo at Northern Illinois 3:30 pm Northern will win easily.
Kent St. at Toledo 7:00 p Might be the best game in the MAC this week. Toledo will pick up a rare home win.

Sweet mother of mercy, jp went 8-0 last week. Lottery numbers indeed.

Miami at Cent. Michigan - Miami - This is a tough one, but I like Miami in a defensive game.
East. Michigan at Ball St. - Ball State - Never pick EMU. That's rule #1 of any college pickem game.
Bowling Green at Temple - Temple - Sadly, this one could be over by halftime.
Akron at Ohio - Ohio - Picking against Akron is usually good for a win too.
W. Michigan at Notre Dame - Notre Dame - WMU might be competitive in this one, but not enough to win.
Buffalo at Northern Illinois - Northern Illinois - The Huskies make this one look easy at home.
Kent St. at Toledo - Kent State - This is the toughest game of the week, I like the Flashes with their ball-control offense to win it.

Miami @ CMU - The Chips aren't a lot better, but the home field advantage should be enough to win this game. CMU Wins.

EMU @ Ball State - Maybe, just maybe, EMU gets a win here...but probably not. Ball State Wins.

Bowling Green @ Temple - For the very first time this year, I am picking against the Falcons. The Owls are the class of the East this year. Temple Wins.

Akron @ Ohio - Ohio is a good team. We found that out last week. Akron is not a good team. We've known that since Week 1. Ohio Wins.

WMU @ Notre _ame - Notre _ame should handle this game pretty easily, even with their missing "D." Notre _ame Wins.

Buffalo @ NIU - The Huskies dominated the Owls last week and it should be no different with the Bulls in town. NIU Wins.

Kent State @ Toledo - This game seems like a coin flip to me. Hold on one second. (Flips Coin) Toledo Wins.

Miami at Cent. Michigan - Central should be able to beat the redhawks.

East. Michigan at Ball St.- Im gonna say Ball State wins this one.

Bowling Green at Temple - this is my first time picking against the Falcons ever but really I think we dont have a chance being away and with our whole team not playing with emotion. I really really hope Im totally wrong on this one.

Akron at Ohio - Ohio is looking good this year and I think they will be be 4-3 after this weekend.

W. Michigan at Notre Dame - Notre Dame, but I hope the broncos will pull of an upset but doubtful

Buffalo at Northern Illinois- This should be a good game but the Huskies have the home field advantage so I give it to them.

Kent St. at Toledo- Turdledo will win.

Evidence that miracles do happen.

I wonder if the EMU players and coaches burned any Ball State jerseys after leaving Muncie with a W?
