I see 4 virtual toss ups... For me this is the toughest week. The only games i see 80% on our board picking the same are ND and SDSU.

This week seems a lot easier to pick than the previous few. But we shall see. I wouldn't be shocked if CMU or BSU won.

Bold is my pick; underline is against the spread.
Central Michigan @ Boston College -8
*BC has a tough D. Clemson wore them out by the time the 4th Q rolled around, but it was a tight game thru the better part of 3Q. CMU's Shane Morris @QB could be on-point enough to make this a Good game and a very possible win. I wouldn't count on it throughout the game. BC wins by 10, but leads the whole game.
Ohio -8.5 @ UMass
*UMass isn't good. But OMG, they almost beat @Tennessee, @Temple, Old Dominion, and Hawaii. But also they couldn't beat Coastal Carolina of all teams. WTF? They are very capable of taking out Ohio. This may be their first win, and I want to choose them due to a feeling -- but I can't choose them. Ohio wins in a squeaker.
Buffalo -7.5 @ Kent State
*Some injuries on Buffalo's side getting thru that game last week? KSU has a good D. They're at home and ready to play. Coming into the year, they saw this as a potential win -- and win, they very well may do. But I have to choose Buffalo, by a FG or a TD.
Eastern Michigan @ Kentucky -14.5
*EMU, if they squeaked it out against Ohio at home last week, I would say they could truly win this with enthusiasm & confidence behind their back. Kentucky's OK this year, but nothing incredible. EMU's thristy to make a name for themselves. But they're just not good enough. It wouldn't be a world shocker if EMU won, but they won't. However, I do see them giving Kentucky a scare like EKU did. Kentucky by 10.
Miami-OH @ #22 Notre Dame -21
*Notre Dame isn't quite as good as you think. MSU bungled the 1st half, and MSU's O, despite a good QB, just isn't gelled. WMU didn't score 1 offensive point against MSU, and MSU could only score as much as Idaho did AT WMU. Yikes. Miami makes it a good game, and scares Notre Dame after riding high off the MSU win. ND wins by 10.
Akron -3 @ Bowling Green
*Akron had a chance to beat Troy. They took Iowa State down to the wire in their 1st half. Akron is better than BGSU. BGSU is off-game. Akron wins by 7pts in a close one.
Ball State @ Western Michigan -12.5
*Ball State didn't have their starting QB & RB -- their two hugest weapons last week throughout the game against @WKU. I should have known that, no wonder Vegas had WKU at such good odds. My bad. They're out this game, along with a few others. WMU won't be pretty & perfect, as BSU will be scrappy, but in the end, WMU wins by about 2 TDs at home.
Northern Illinois @ #19 San Diego State -11
*The spread opened at 13.5 for SDSU, but it dropped to 11. NIU could win this, but NIU going west coast? Ehhhh. They only seem to like travelling in the midwest. SDSU has a great D, but so does NIU. However, NIU's offense isn't great. But can it be? Can Santa deliver the presents in the end-zone, while their horse of a RB does some damage? Quite possibly. But I can't choose them. SDSU wins by 14 in the end.

Boston College over Central Michigan
If the Chippewa team that showed up vs Miami shows up this Saturday, could be a long game.
Western Michigan over Ball St
Sounds like the Cardinals have some injuries at key positions (starting QB and RB).
Buffalo over Kent St
If the Bulls really are improved they win this easily.
Notre Dame over Miami
The Irish aren't THAT bad
Akron over Bowling Green St
This is a game the Falcons can win, but the Zips are still the favorite.
#19 San Diego St over Northern Illinois
Ohio over Massachusetts
A must-win for the MAC. The Minutemen are as much of our rivals as the Thundering Herd or the Owls
Kentucky over Eastern Michigan
I think the Eagles put up a good fight

based on this season's results there's a good chance the MAC pulls an upset in one of the non-conf games. All of these are capable MAC teams. Miami at ND, NIU at SDSU, CMU at BC, EMU at Kentucky. Not sure who will do it but chances are we go 1-3 in those games. None of those opponents are dominant and I don't see any of them being locked in this week (ND off the huge win over MSU, SDSU off of a couple PAC12 wins and a big conf road win, BC coming off a draining loss to Clemson when they actually played pretty well, and Kentucky losing a heartbreaker to Florida at home) all those coaches will need to do some psychology work on their teams this week.
