I noticed that Vegas has almost every MAC team as the underdog in each bowl game

Utah state -10 vs Toledo
Ball State vs UCF pick
Western Kentucky -5 vs CMU
San Jose State -7 vs BGSU
UL MONROE -7.5 vs OHIO
Arkansas State -3.5 vs Kent State
Florida State -12.5 vs NIU (changed from 14?)

I still cant Believe 7 teams are bowling, but I hope they all can make the MAC look good...most notably the HUSKIES of course!

Ball State is a touchdown underdog. All the MAC teams are underdogs.

give me Ball State and Kent State to win

And NIU.

No doubt, this is a tough slate of games for the MAC. Many of what you could call the 3rd and 4th best teams in the MAC are taking on the #1's and 2's of some other conferences. - Honestly, if the MAC can tally 3+ wins this bowl season I think we would have to call it a success.

Agree. The 3 as noted above. The others look real tough. Maybe BGSU wins with their Defense. Don't see Toledo pulling an upset.

Side effect of the BCS bid. No BCS bid and the MAC has a shot a 4 or 5 wins.

NIU went from 7 to 14 now at 12.5... Mu guess is 11.5 by game day...

I got NIU +14

Of all the non-NIU games listed above, I have to say Ball State is the one I would be most confident in. But, I'm not even confident in that one. Those are really bad matchups for the MAC. SJSU is a very good team. I just don't know know how impressive Kent will be after losing the MACC, BCS bowl and their coach. I would probably feel ok with picking CMU as well. But man, nothing jumps out that's for sure. I would stay away from most of these games if I was in Vegas.

I like CMU in its game. WKU stumbled down the stretch.

Ball State is going to probably be playing its 3rd string QB in their bowl game. Wenning is hurt and is questionable for their bowl.

San Jose - 7 over BG. You can bet WD's Denali on that one.

Things may change, but the last time I looked at the whole bowl game line-up, not only was every MAC team an underdog, but so was every Big Ten team. Of course, there are only five of them in bowl games.
