Toledo at Ball State
Toledo. Ball State has stank so far. They did make things interesting with Auburn last year, though.
No. 10 Cincinnati at Miami
Cincinnati. UC is awesome this year, and Miami has been pathetic so far.
Temple at Eastern Michigan
Temple. Not sure what to make of Temple beating up on UB last week. Not sure if it means Temple actually has a pulse or if Temple is just inconsistent or if UB is just inconsistent. I'll just go with them being good enough at least to beat EMU.
Central Michigan at Buffalo
CMU. The Chips are the best team in the conference so far and jury's out on UB except I know the Bulls are inconsistent.
Western Michigan at Northern Illinois
NIU. If CMU is the best team in the conference, NIU is the second best. They'll bounce back from a tough loss last week to Idaho and run all over the Broncos.
Ohio at Bowling Green
BG. Finally an opponent that isn't either ranked or at the top of their conference (and I'm ignoring whatever happened in Huntington). BG wins huge.
Kent State at Baylor
Baylor. Baylor just lost their starting QB for the season. They won't do as well vs. the Big 12 but they'll still demolish the Flashes.

Toledo, Cincy, EMU, Buffalo, NIU and finally my two favorite teams will both win this week: BGSU & Baylor!

Toledo @ Balls Taint - Toledo has way too much offensive fire-power for the Cardinals to matchup with defensively. Toledo in a blowout.
Cincinasty @ Miami - The Bearcats are on the right track to an undefeated season. Way too much for Miami to handle. Natti going away.
Temple @ EMU - I've changed my opinion on Temple since they whooped Buffalo in Buffalo last week. Temple wins this one.
Central Michigan @ Buffalo - Will a home team win a game this week? Yes, but not this one. Chips Dip the Bulls.
Western Michigan @ Northern Illinois - Still looking for that home team winner as the Broncos beat up the Huskies.
Ohio @ Bowling Green - FINALLY! The home team gets a victory...Bowling Green big as Clawson starts claiming ownership of the MAC.
Kent State @ Baylor - Baylor's Big12 style of football is too much for Kent. Baylor wins big at home.

Don't know about everybody else, but I'm 22-11 entering this week.
Toledo at Ball State - Toledo - The Rockets rarely win in Muncie, which is why I was on the fence for this game, but I'm sticking with Toledo and their potent offense, barely
No. 10 Cincinnati at Miami - Cincinnati - Brian Kelly undoubtedly will bitch again about having to play a MAC team on the road, a la 2007, as for the game, I predict pain for the Redhawks
Temple at Eastern Michigan - Eastern Michigan - One game a season does not make, and EMU's actually looked somewhat competent in a few of their games. I take the Emus, errr...Eagles to win a close one at home
Central Michigan at Buffalo - Central Michigan - Sorry Buffalo, your miracle run is over. CMU rolls.
Western Michigan at Northern Illinois - Northern Illinois - This one's a toss up on paper, but WMU is just not that impressive to me, and even though NIU stubbed their toe last week, the Broncos aren't leaving Dekalb with a W.
Ohio at Bowling Green - Bowling Green - Another toss up. I'm going with BG in this one to win at home against the Bobcats, who historically have been terrible against the Falcons.
Kent State at Baylor - Baylor. Kent State sucks. Terrible. Pitiful. If we lose to them it's our final nail in the coffin, they're that bad.

Toledo at Ball State; Toledo..again too much offense. Toledo is pretty good this year I think, not great, but good.
No. 10 Cincinnati at Miami; Cincinnati..no doubt.
Temple at Eastern Michigan; Yuck. Temple
Central Michigan at Buffalo; CMU..just glad I don't have to pick Buffalo this week.
Western Michigan at Northern Illinois; Eh..toss up. I'm gonna go with WMU in a close one.
Ohio at Bowling Green; BG...must win game for us.
Kent State at Baylor; Baylor is playing without one of my favorite players in college football, Robert Griffin. But they still win big.
