Do you guys see any big upsets this weekend?

My Saturday predictions

Akron @ Northern Illinois, Huskies by 6
Ohio @ Ball State, Cardinals by 14
Toledo @ Western Michigan, Rockets by 8
Bowling Green @ Central Michigan, Chips by 6
Kent State @ Eastern Michigan, Golden Flashes by 2
Miami-OH @ Buffalo, Bulls by 27

I'd like to parlay Akron, Miami, and OU all covering those spreads.

I know Toledo fans are down on their team, but Rockets should be a solid road favorite in this game today.

The game that intrigues me the most today is Kent State/EMU. This could be one of those fork in the road games for these two teams. Both having roller coaster seasons, but a win and a winning record may catapult one of them today. Probably a slightly bigger game for EMU than Kent given its at EMU. Interested to see if EMU can carry over what they did at Muncie. Akron @ NIU is another one that jumps out me as possibly having big implications for a top 4 seed. Huskies have been very efficient offensively but Akron brings some of the best defensive efficiency numbers to the table in the conference. This is a pretty big game to win for Akron in my opinion. Huskies have taken 2 MAC road games to open the season but probably caught teams at a good time (Ohio, Miami). Can NIU keep the ball rolling today at home against the best defense they have seen in conference to date? They pretty much have to in order to have a chance to win because NIU is the worst defensive team in the conference.

Miami is only a 15.5 dog @ Buffalo, that seems like one to jump on for the Bulls.

Kent’s having a rollercoaster season? They’re 12-3.

Maybe not many crests and troughs, but really high crest and a really deep trough

axeme, from the Kent State I have watched a key player to me seems like Avery. He has to hit outside shots more consistently and Kent St will be far more dangerous if he does. Would you agree with that, he seems like the X factor

Miami dominating early. I give up trying to make sense of the MaC lol

Ball state getting destroyed by Ohio and Miami and Buffalo tied up. Crazy day!!

OU up by 20+ over Balls State early in the 2nd half.

EMU up 20 over Kent State early in the 2nd half.

Buffalo with a 4-pt lead over Miami at the half (CBS Sports Network).

Toledo & WMU set to tip in apx. 50 minutes.

The top heaviness of this conference is being swiftly destroyed. Did not see this coming , congrats to those that predicted conference would devour itself

Dear MAC,
Eastern destroyed Kent State today by almost forty points. It was back and forth for the first two-thirds of the first half, and Eastern pulled away by nine at half, and never looked back after that.

It was 7 at the half, but otherwise a lambasting the rest of the way.

it was a slow start for the Bulls, but they still win by 22 despite really not playing well at all.

Kent State has some issues, the BGSU game was an eyebrow raiser, now add another dud onto that, it might be panic time

I hereby declare the Bowling Green Falcons as the Baby Bulls.
