Alright, here we go

Buffalo @ Temple
Buffalo - they always seem to beat Temple so I guess that'll continue this year.

Idaho @ NIU
NIU - Idaho is improving very quickly but I saw NIU live last week and I am impressed. They dominated Purdue on all fronts and I expect that to continue this week.

Akron @ CMU
CMU - I am very disappointed so far with Akron but much of that has to do with their senior quarterback not leading by example.

Bowling Green vs Boise State
BG - I cannot go against my Falcons!! Boise is beatable but it will take a perfect game, and I think a huge crowd could pump the Falcons up to play the game of their lives.

Miami @ Kent State
Kent - both teams stink so far, but Kent has stunk less. They showed some signs of life vs a decent ISU team and Miami showed nothing against WMU until the Broncos lifted their boots off Miami's neck.

Hofstra @ WMU
WMU - no question.

Toledo @ FIU
FIU - they've got a lot of talent and have one of the most explosive players in the country in that crazy fast receiver. I don't see Toledo being able to contain the offense.

Ball State @ Auburn
Auburn. Sorry, no chance for the upset here.

Ohio @ Tennessee
Tennessee. Again, no chance for the upset here.

Buffalo, NIU, Central Mich, Boise St. , Miami, Western Mich, Toledo, Auburn, & Tennessee. Lots of conference games this week, so at least we can sit back and watch how those pan out!

[bgsufalcon24]

Buffalo @ Temple - Buffalo - Da Bulls pretty much own this "rivalry", and Temple hasn't shown me much so far this year. Buffalo to win this one handily.
Idaho @ NIU - Northern Illinois - The Huskies have looked pretty good so far, and are playing well, especially on offense. They should win pretty easily against the Vandals (which is a cool name for a university sports team I think)
Akron @ CMU - Central Michigan - With Chris Jacquemain, the Zips would have a good chance here. Without him, they aren't the same team. CMU rolls.
Bowling Green vs Boise State - Boise State - Since they're playing a tough team, BG will probably get up for this game and play well early, but Boise's just too strong and too good.
Miami @ Kent State - Miami - Holy suckitude Batman! Redhawks for the "upset", can you believe it?
Hofstra @ WMU - Western Michigan - Hofstra? Seriously? Next.
Toledo @ FIU - Toledo - I'm still scratching my head over how Florida International managed to make it to NW Ohio last year, and win. Won't happen this time as Toledo is much improved.
Ball State @ Auburn - Auburn - The fall of Balls Tate continues.
Ohio @ Tennessee - Tennessee - The Bobcats will play okay in this one, but they're overmatched against the volunteers, who appear to be much improved themselves.

Buffalo - No way they lose to Temple, I am proven right as to my feelings that Temple still has a LONG way to go.

NIU - The Huskies have to avoid the letdown, a la USC, in this game after a huge win over Purdon't.

CMU - Chips win at home over a shell-shocked Akron team who just kicked their starting QB off the team.

BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY - 'Nuff said.

Miami - I seriously had to think about this one for a minute. I picture one of two scenarios taking place. 1. 3-2 Final score in favor of Miami. 2. 54-52 Final score in favor of Miami.

WMU - I like the Broncos to win at home.

FIU - High scoring slug-fest. FIU comes out on top with a late score and stop.

Auburn - Ball State can't hang.

Tennessee - OU is out of their league in this one. Tennessee showed that they have come a long way since last year.

Im gonna do my first ever picks, lets see how i do.

Buffalo@Temple-Buffalo-They seem to have a better team than temple this year.
Idaho@NIU-NIU- The huskies really showed they have some talent last week at purdue. Huskies being at home will help them win big.
Akron@CMU-CMU- although CMU is not having the great start I thought they would, there offense will be to much for the Zips.
Boise State@Bowling Green-BGSU- Although the falcons lost their last two games, I think the falcons being at home and playing potentially the biggest game of the year, they will step up and win but it will be close.
Miami@Kent State-KSU- Miami is a dud this year. KSU will win big.
Hofstra@WMU-WMU- They will win big
Toledo@FIU-FIU- The panthers will be to much for Toledo.
Ball State@Auburn-Auburn- Umm.....The tigers will rip the cardinals apart. All that will be left is a few feathers.
Ohio@Tennessee-Tennessee- Ohio may start off strong but the Vols will wear them out in Knoxville.

sorry i felt like doing team colors. lol
