Up to week 7, here's the totals:

jpfalcon09 52 - 16
bgsufalcon24 50 - 18
LowryFalcon 49 - 19
MarkL 45 - 23
VDub26Falcon 38 - 17
BGFalconfromCincy 38 - 14
daspollak 37 - 18
falconfan1999 32 - 12
svillefalcon 31 - 14
footballguy51 30 - 15
Chimie 23 - 11

I finished under .500 this week for the first time ever. BGFalconfromCincy should predict stocks and handle all of our investment plans.
All 13 teams play on Saturday. Here's the matchups for this week:
Saturday
Temple at Buffalo, 12:00 pm
Ohio at Miami, 1:00 pm
Kent St. at Bowling Green, 3:30 pm
W. Michigan at Akron, 3:30 pm
Cent. Michigan at Northern Illinois, 4:00 pm
East. Michigan at Virginia, 6:00 pm
Ball St. at Toledo, 7:00 pm

And my picks ...

Temple at Buffalo. Winner: Temple. Temple was sluggish last week, but they are going to slaughter UB this week.
Ohio at Miami. Winner: Ohio. Ohio has won 4 straight, and I think the trend continues. Miami has played well this year, but Ohio has been coming on strong recently.
Kent St. at Bowling Green. Winner: BG. 6 of my misses were picking BG to win, and I will never pick BG to lose. Outside of two plays, BG was excellent on D last week, allowing only one third down conversion. That play continues, and BG picks up a win over a Kent State team counting down the days until Doug Martin gets canned.
W. Michigan at Akron. Winner: WMU. Akron has been pitiful this year. Next year for the Zips?
Cent. Michigan at Northern Illinois. Winner: NIU. NIU has been the class of the MAC and I don't see anyone knocking them off, even though CMU traditionally beats up on NIU.
East. Michigan at Virginia. Winner: Virginia. EMU stunned everybody (except for Cincy) by pulling out a win last week. They will not start a win streak here.
Ball St. at Toledo. Winner: Toledo. I do think BSU has a chance. They have been both awful and decent. If they play decent, they can win, but I do believe UT gets the job done at home.

Good luck everyone!

Well, this isn't as fun to do with our team out of contention, but here goes anyway.

Temple at Buffalo - Temple - Temple rolls as Buffalo is reverting back to what they've traditionally been, a doormat.
Ohio at Miami - Miami - This one's tricky, but the Redhawks have come through for me before, I pick them here.
Kent St. at Bowling Green - Kent State - Family Weekend Jinx v6.0 cometh. Kent State big.
W. Michigan at Akron - Western Michigan - Shame we don't play Akron the last week, it could be 0-7 vs 0-7 the way things are going.
Cent. Michigan at Northern Illinois - Northern Illinois - The Huskies are the best team in the MAC, and will show it against the struggling Chips.
East. Michigan at Virginia - Virginia - UVA lost to WMU a few years back, but they'll win this one.
Ball St. at Toledo - Toledo - Coming off defeat against EMU, Ball State is due for a schellacking in the Glass Bowl, Toledo big.
