Pick the MAC, week 13!

Since I'm at work right now, I'll be doing an abbreviated version of this. Will update standings soon.
Thanks MAC for giving us all Friday games. Thanks a bunch.
Friday
Eastern Michigan at Northern Illinois, 11:00 am
Bowling Green at Buffalo, noon
Kent State at Temple, noon
Akron at Western Michigan, 1:00
Toledo at Ball State, 2:00
And my picks ...
Northern Illinois. EMU finishes 6-6 for the best season in a long, long time but still isn't bowl eligible. If they continue improving they will make some good noise next year.
Bowling Green. Yeah, our only two backs are Pettigrew and Geiger, but I think they get the job done. We saw vs Ohio that Geiger is capable, and I just have the feeling that Pettigrew has a breakout moment on Friday en route to a stunning senior year next year. BG wins and completes a season with a three game turnaround over last year and enters 2012 as a top level east contender.
Temple. Kent has played well recently and has some confidence going into next season, but they're not beating Temple.
Western Michigan. It's easy picking games when Akron is involved.
Ball State. Yeah I know, this is kind of out of left field, but Ball State has had some good moments this year. They're more than capable of beating UT. I say they get the job done and enter next season with a ton of momentum. This would also make BSU bowl eligible.
Folks, drive safe, have an excellent Thanksgiving with your families, and give a thought to what all you are thankful to have. More thoughts on that later possibly in the free for all forum from me.
Go Falcons!
