We finally have three people who have separated themselves from the pack for prizes, and the slate of games keeps getting a bit more difficult to predict as we move along into the last month of the season. We had a few people go 7-0 this week so keep up the good work, and even if you're 4-5 games out, a good week can propel you near the top three.

Proud to see I'm not in last, but pretty darn close. 9 games out of 1st place, 6 games out of the top three. Something tells me I will continue to live in the basement.

I honestly feel this week is fairly easy to pick. The two most difficult to pick are Toledo/BG and WMU/UMass simply due to parity in the teams.

Ball State - Akron seems to play just well enough to make it a game. Ball State is dominant this year.
Ohio - I almost picked Miami just to hope Ohio would lose.
BGSU - Homer pick, but we HAVE to be Turdledo.
UMass - I think UMass might actually win a game this year. Western is THAT bad.
Buffalo - Almost picked Kent for the same reason I almost picked Miami.
NIU - This game will be over by halftime.

BTW- who is, hustledouble (67-7)? Is that a board cumulative thing?

My friend Matt who is a BG grad but doesn't participate on the boards here. He's also into sports wagering so he's been pretty spot on this year.

Not to be a dick here at all, and forgive me if this is being done already, but if he isn't going to post on the board himself would you mind posting his picks for him? Just seems like it would be more fair, especially to the guys who have been eliminated because they posted their picks a few minutes late.

I have a lot of ground to make up ...
Ball State. Poor Akron, nothing seems to go right.
Ohio. Something tells me if BG is number 1 in the east, Ohio may very well finish at 2. They've improved a lot this season.
BGSU! Big win!! Greene goes nuts and runs for well over 100, offense rolls, and defense takes care of business.
UMass. Coin flip.
Buffalo. Kent can give them a very good fight so I wouldn't be shocked one bit to be wrong.
NIU. Shouldn't be as close as recent games.
