Pick the MAC, week 7!

Toledo - by the end of the 1st quarter it will sadly be over

Wow, seems like this is the attitude of most of the board, as the majority has the Team Up North winning. How is it that many of us had our Falcons winning over West Virginia, but now loing at home to Team Up North. Not gonna Happen.

My Picks:

Bowling Green - I said shortly after the WMU loss on this board that the Falcons would win by at least two touchdown, and haven't changed my thoughts one bit. Just like 2001, I like the underdog Bowling Green in a blowout win at home. Tomorrow we end all of the Homecoming curse nonsense. Falcons are still my pick to win the East and the MAC, and at this rate, 6-2 just might be enough to win it outright, although they'll be 7-1.

Temple
Central Michigan
Western Michigan
Ball State
Kent State

Just for the record, homecoming isn't a curse...yet. We've got this year and next to right that ship. Once you hit 5 in a row, to me that's officially a curse/jinx. Family weekend is at 7, indisputable. As another metric, when you look at our homecoming losses recently, they've all been one possession games deep in the 4th quarter. We just haven't made the one or two plays needed to win those games, unlike family weekend where most of the games outside of this year were over in the 2nd quarter.

I agree with that, I guess since a lot of other people have been saying that, I fell into the talk as well. It doesn't matter, because after tomorrow we will be back on a Homecoming winning streak. Go Falcons.
