How many MAC dogs win outright this week?

[GoSooners]

I'm thinking it could be Ohio and something unexpected like maybe Miami knocking off Kentucky in that neutral site game. If you want to call a game being played in Cincinnati neutral. Toledo also has a decent chance. Purdue probably isn't much better than the Michigan team that Toledo knocked off last year. Plus first games with a first year coaching staff are almost always a little dicey. Especially after a long time coach has left.

Miami has a first-time HC this year also.

Central michigan no chance traveling across country in preseason not easy...it will be extremely hot

I agree that CMU will get waxed, but it won't be the heat. It's going to be cool and breezy in the mid-80's at game time. Maybe some rain as a residual of the hurricane hitting Baja.

Ohio's QB Boo Jackson is hurt and will not start, but will split time with the back-up.

Western Michigan +400 - Worth 100 bucks IMO.

Richie Rod is on his way out. I'm taking the +13 for sure.

 

[Gravy]

Western Michigan +12.5 - I can see them covering but not winning outright

Central Michigan +13.5 - Quite possible

Toledo +10.5 - Yes I can see Toledo winning here

Northern Illinois +16.5 - NO

Miami, Ohio +15 - No Way as Montgomery ruined this program

Ohio +3.5- Quite possible but Ohio U getting alot of love this week

Akron +27 -Might Cover but not winning

Buffalo +8 - I think they get blown out here in El Paso

Bowling Green +7 -Yes I can see BG winning here Troy has Defensive issues right now and BG does also could be last one with the ball wins as both teams should score here.

None, the league is a joke and has been on the NCAA tit for too long. The majority of teams along with the Sunbelt need to drop to Division 1AA! Ohio would be the only team with a chance since UCONN has no QB

Here's what a few of those Division 1AA teams did last season:


Western Michigan beat Illinois 23-17 at Illinois
Central Michigan beat Indiana 37-34 at Indiana
Toledo beat Michigan 13-10 at Michigan
Ball St. beat Indiana 42-20 at Indiana
Bowling Green beat Pitt 27-17 at Pitt

And there were many other close calls and covers. Especially against Big 10 teams. Maybe the Big 10 should join the FCS.

Are you kidding me, beating Indiana twice is not something to get excited by, and Michigan was terrigle last year. How many time did Mich turn the ball over in that game? Wanny chokes at least twice a year against inferior teams and the ILL game was a late season down spot for them. Some of these teams may cover like Akron (tons of offense) but outright only Ohio has a chance. People that are backing Toledo for an outright win, dont realize the amount of problems this team has had in the past 9 months.

We're not talking about BCS conference teams here. We're talking about Division 1 teams. And take my word for it, there is a ton of difference between divsion 1 and division 2.

Honestly, do you watch 1AA games? Outside of depth, the teams from the MAC and Sunbelt would struggle to win the 1AA Championship! The MAC and Sunbelt milk these road games to fund their programs and are really a waste of time. You highlighyed five wins, but how many of the games outside the MAC were actually routs? What percentage did the MAC and SunBelt win OOC last season, 15%? What did they cover the lines 30%
