Central Michigan at Bowling Green
CMU is the best team in the MAC, by a lot. I think the Falcons are coming along, but aren't quite there yet.

Northern Illinois at Miami
Huskies will physcially domiante this game.

Ball State at Eastern Michigan
Ball State is improving each game, but EMU will win a close one.

Kent State at Ohio
Ohio could have a let down after their homecoming win over rival Miami, but they'll be focused enough to win this one.

Buffalo at Western Michigan
Broncos in a blowout.

Akron at Syracuse
Most years, this is the type of game against a BCS opponent that the MAC could/should win. But the Zips are in such disarray ...

Temple at Toledo
If Pierce were healthy, I'd pick the Owls without hesitation. But he's out and Opelt is healthy. The Rockets are smarting after last week's beating, so they have something to prove.

12:00 PM ET Central Michigan at Bowling Green - Central Michigan - BG just doesn't play all that well at home, and CMU's powerful offense will be too much to take for the Falcons.

1:00 PM ET Northern Illinois at Miami (OH) - Northern Illinois - Miami sucks. Next.

1:00 PM ET Ball State at Eastern Michigan - Ball State - Wow, pillow fight of the year. I'm taking the Cardinals, because as a rule, I never take EMU to win, ever.

2:00 PM ET Kent State at Ohio - Kent State - Maybe I'm totally begging, but the road team always wins this game, Kent's looked surprisingly good, and Ohio is due for a screwup.

2:00 PM ET Buffalo at Western Michigan - Western Michigan - In the "I hate these teams with a passion" bowl, the Broncos win a close one over Da Bulls.
3:30 PM ET Akron at Syracuse - Syracuse - Akron is horrible. Next.

7:00 PM ET Temple at Toledo - Toledo - Temple has some injury trouble, and Toledo got a big win last week and I think they'll ride the momentum to another this week.

Central Michigan @Bowling Green- I for one believe that the Falcons will win this game. This will be a high scoring game that will end in BG's Favor.

Northern Illinois@ Miami(OH)- Huskies will easily take this game.

Ball State@ Eastern Michigan- Ball State will finally get their first win of the season this weekend against the Eagles.

Kent State@Ohio- Id normally pick Ohio in this game but I really would like to see the golden flashes knock off the bobcats for the sake of helping us out to get to the MAC championship, with how much of a chance we still have to get there.

Buffalo@ Western Michigan- The broncos suffered a big loss to CMU last weekend but I see them bouncing back to beat the bulls at home.

Akron@ Syracuse- The Zips have no chance in this one.

Temple@ Toledo- For the same reason I want KSU to win I want the rockets to beat the owls. This one should be a close one. The owls have shown they are alot better than years before.

Last week's beating was actually not hard to take at all. In fact its almost like we won. Oh, wait...we DID win.

12:00 PM ET Central Michigan at Bowling Green ESPN360.com Hoping to be wrong with this pick, but CMU is the best team in the MAC!
1:00 PM ET Northern Illinois at Miami (OH) NIU will win by 20. I would have said 40, but after that egg they laid in the glASS bowl last week.....
1:00 PM ET Ball State at Eastern Michigan I think this is the week Ball State gets it done!
2:00 PM ET Kent State at Ohio The Bobcats will continue to win in an unimpressive fashion
2:00 PM ET Buffalo at Western Michigan WMU wins BIG!
3:30 PM ET Akron at Syracuse ESPN360.com Akron should win this one, but won't!
7:00 PM ET Temple at Toledo I hate picking Toledo to win.....

Central Michigan at Bowling Green
BG - I can't pick against BG. The offense scores a ton, the defense comes through big.

1:00 PM ET Northern Illinois at Miami (OH)
NIU - Miami is getting better each week but they still can't stop turning the ball over.

1:00 PM ET Ball State at Eastern Michigan
Ball State - Well, somebody's gotta win. I picked EMU to beat Kent last week ... if I had watched the EMU/CMU game before that, I would have never picked that way. EMU's QB is out for the season and their offense has completely tanked. Ball State is much better than 0-7.

2:00 PM ET Kent State at Ohio
Ohio - Unfortunately ... Ohio rolls.

2:00 PM ET Buffalo at Western Michigan
WMU - WMU has not been consistent, but they are a good team. I'm not sold on UB.

3:30 PM ET Akron at Syracuse
'Cuse - Akron upset them last year, but both teams are totally different this year from last.

7:00 PM ET Temple at Toledo
Toledo - UT offense rolls.

Friday...time for the picks of VDub26Falcon...I know you all care deeply.

CMU at Bowling Green - I said it at the beginning of the season and I'll say it again...Clawson WILL put the Family Day Jinx to bed for good. Falcons win and prove that they've got things back on the right track.

NIU at Miami - NIU is going to win this game. Nuff said.

Ball State at EMU - Um.....................Does someone HAVE to win this game? Fine, I'll take the home team. EMU wins.

Kent State at Ohio - OU at home...I would love to see Kent pull the upset here, and it is the MAC so anything can happen but not this time. OU wins big.

Buffalo at WMU - Broncos win at home against a Buffalo team that isn't even half of what last year's team was.

Akron at Syracuse - How many bullsh!t "Roughing the Passer" calls has Greg Paulus had called for him? If it's half as many bullsh!t charges he took in college, I wouldn't be surprised...that being said, Syracuse wins.

Temple at Toledo - The Rockets will win this game in the Glass Bowl. Absolutely.
