RE: 2018 MAC Football Pick 'Em -- Week 6
Bold=WINNER; Underline = Beating the Spread
Buffalo -7.5 @ Central Michigan
*It was a shocker that Buffalo, at home, got blown out by Army. Army is on it's way up, but they were 2-2. Military teams can play surprisingly close games due to the other team's preparation. Don't mistaken this for Buffalo sucking. They blew out Rutgers @Rutgers, and were 4-0 up until this Army debacle. CMU could beat the spread, and maybe their QB has some confidence after the MSU 4th Q. I see Buffalo pissed and winning in a solid victory by 10-14 pts.
Eastern Michigan @ Western Michigan -4
*I would have said EMU would win this game, if it were not to losing to no-offense NIU, at home last weekend (granted, in 3OT). But the point spread would be Even if they didn't play 3OTs and instead beat NIU. EMU has a great D, WMU's D is not good. EMU has a sub-par O, WMU's is explosive. I expect EMU to score more than usual, but since it's at WMU, WMU will pull it out just in time, like a senior on prom night. WMU wins by a FG or less.
Northern Illinois -3 @ Ball State
*Honestly, this could go either way. NIU's not pumped-up after their win over @EMU which was key for them, in 3OTs, so they're not going to overlook BSU. BSU potentially is pretty decent, but come on. They lost to W Kentucky at home. Sorry, can't go for the Cards on this one. They suck at baseball. NIU wins by a TD or more.
Ohio -11 @ Kent State
*Ohio could win this by 14. Ohio could lose by 10. Ohio is pretty skitzo when it comes to the field. But they have a lot of O-power, and even though KState's much improved thanks to their QB & passing game, I expect Ohio to hold their own, and even be down at times... but to pull it out by a TD in a not-too-scary game in the end.
Miami @ Akron -5
*Miami could win this, but it's @Akron, and Akron's had a tough OOC schedule testing them. Miami has potential, but Akron's D will keep them in check. However, Miami has their own D which will do the same to Akron. Expect a close game which could go either way, but I think Miami's big Letdown at home against WMU will not make them pull out anything sweet on the road to Akron. Akron wins by 10+ by the time the buzzer sounds.
Bowling Green @ Toledo -21.5
*Toledo QB injury and ending up getting blown (out) by Fresno will not bring Toledo's Offensive A-Game. BGSU will smell blood to make it kinda close for a while, but Toledo will slowly slip away. Toledo wins by 13-17 by the end of the game.
