Let's start talking about the opening conference weekend:

Western Michigan at Ball State - Ball State will take this at home
Eastern Michigan at Northern Illinois - Not gonna pick NIU until they beat a DI team this year, so EMU.
Bowling Green at Ohio - Got to go with the Bobcats
Akron at Miami - This is an intriguing matchup, but I will say Akron in a close one.
Kent State at Buffalo - Super excited to see this game.. A big test for Buffalo right off the back to see if they are for real. UB has played Kent well at Alumni Arena the last few years and I think it continues on Saturday, so I'm going with UB.
Toledo at Central Michigan - Will take CMU as the home team.
