Chimie 23 - 11 (.676)

Each team has either one or two left, so I'll put all the rest of the games here in the regular season, then one more for the MAC title game.

Yeah, I know, we're all pretty deflated after this season, but at least picking MAC games has been decently fun I think. And heads up, whoever ends up winning, watch out for a PM from me after the MAC title game about where to ship an extra stocking stuffer ...

Central Michigan at Toledo, TBA

And, for my predictions:

Northern Illinois at Ball State. Winner: NIU. No contest.
Kent State at Western Michigan. Winner: WMU. Kent always dies at the end of each season. I expect them to end on a four game losing streak.
Eastern Michigan at Buffalo. Winner: EMU. Both teams are really bad right now, but Buffalo has been getting worse and worse. I'll call for EMU to get win number 2.
Temple at Miami. Winner: Temple. Miami has been pretty good this year, but Temple should be able to take care of business.
Northern Illinois at Eastern Michigan. Winner: NIU. No contest.
Ohio at Kent State. Winner: Ohio. OU has been too good recently.
Buffalo at Akron. Winner: UB. Yeah, I picked UB to lose to EMU, but no way Akron beats anybody this year I think.
Western Michigan at Bowling Green. Winner: BG. No logical reason for this pick, but I'll never pick against BG in these!
Central Michigan at Toledo. Winner: UT. Too much offensive firepower for CMU. CMU's offense has come to life recently and can make it interesting, but they're not going to win this one.

Good luck everyone!

Northern Illinois at Ball State, 12:00 pm NIU is going to shellac Ball State!
Kent State at Western Michigan, 2:00 pm Western beats a disappointing Kent team
Eastern Michigan at Buffalo, 2:00 pm EMU is bad, really bad. I picked them once this year, but won't again. Buffalo wins.
Temple at Miami, 7:00 pm- Miami is tough and has played better than Temple in the MAC. Miami should win a good game.
Northern Illinois at Eastern Michigan, 12:00 pm- starters for NIU will get some rest as they will destroy EMU.
Ohio at Kent State, 2:00 pm- Bobcats will win big.
Buffalo at Akron, 2:00 pm- Akron is bad, very bad. Buffalo wins.
Western Michigan at Bowling Green, 2:00 pm- I'm still not picking BG until we figure out how to block, pass, tackle and kick. WMU wins and I go home very angry after sitting in the cold for three hours.
Central Michigan at Toledo, TBA - Toledo has some nice pieces and will own Central. (I hate saying nice things about Toledo)

My picks, going for the outright win!

Northern Illinois at Ball State - Northern Illinois - The Huskies have a chance to crack the top 25 before season's end, they win this one easily.
Kent State at Western Michigan - Kent State - The Golden Flashes are truly a jeckyl and hyde team, but I like them here against a mediocre WMU team
Eastern Michigan at Buffalo - Buffalo - Boy oh boy, this could be I-A pillow fight of the year. Da Bulls win at home against an equally hapless EMU.
Temple at Miami - Miami - Without a healthy Bernard Pierce, Temple isn't the same team. Miami takes care of business.
Northern Illinois at Eastern Michigan - Northern Illinois - Too easy. NIU rolls and heads into Detroit with a perfect MAC record.
Ohio at Kent State - Ohio - The Bobcats usually struggle against the Flashes, but there's too much on the line here, I think Ohio steps up and gets it done to reach Detroit for the 2nd year in a row.
Buffalo at Akron - Akron - I cannot believe I'm picking Akron, but with the motivation of avoiding a winless season and against a terrible opponent, the Zips finally get a W.
Western Michigan at Bowling Green - Western Michigan - The Falcons have clearly packed it in for the season. Broncos big.
Central Michigan at Toledo - Toledo - This one's easy, the Rockets are simply too talented for the depleted Chippewas and win to secure a decent bowl.

forgetting to pick a couple weeks because of all the midweek games screwed me
