MAC n Chee$e started out hot last week with two easy winners then Ohio screwed me by wearing the white jerseys and I guess Miami is really affected by the coaching change…its over…we are ready to roll in week 5…WELCOME TO LOCKTOBER!

1.    Toledo @ Temple (Temple -7.5; O/U 50)
Huge battle in the MAC and could be a preview of the MAC Conference Championship…I think the line is a little is pretty good here and I am willing to sit back, relax, and enjoy this gem of a conference game.  No Play.

2.    Buffalo @ Tennessee (Tenn -28; O/U 53.5)
Tennessee will be fired up after the loss to Florida; UConn has the worst QB in the league put up over 200 yards through the air against the Bulls Defense…Tyler Bray is going to go nuts.  Love Rocky Top Large in this game.  Play Tennessee -28.

3.    Akron @ Eastern Michigan (EMU -9.5; O/U 48)
Eastern Michigan should not be favored by 9.5 point to anybody not even Akron; a team they have lost to in 2009 and 2008.  The Akron Offense is coming around and I also like the way their run Defense is shaping up for this matchup.  This is the standard case where Vegas does not know the MAC.  Take the points and the Zips.  Play Akron +9.5.

4.    Cincinnati @ Miami (Miami +14; O/U 56)
Redhawks can’t stop the run; Cincy can’t stop the pass.  This game goes high above the above the total as both teams offensive strengths are the other team’s defensive weaknesses.  Also note these teams are a combined 5-2 to the OVER this year.  Take the HIGH.  Play on OVER 56.  

5.    Kent St. @ Ohio (Ohio -16.5; O/U 47)
Huge revenge game here for Ohio after Kent State ruined the Bobcats MAC Championship Title Game Dreams last year.  I like Ohio large but 16.5 is too much chalk for me to eat.  No Play.

6.    Bowling Green @ West Virginia (West Va -20; O/U 60.5)
Both these teams love to chuck the rock…and you didn’t know West Va put up 463 yards passing on the Mad Hatter.   This game will go way over the number.  Play Over 60.5

7.    Northern Illinois @ Central Michigan (CMU +8.5; O/U 59)
NIU needs to find a defense…or find an inept offense…I am going to play against CMU until the Odds Makers figure out they are awful.  NIU wins this game going away.  Play NIU -8.5.

8.    Western Michigan @ Connecticut (UCONN -3; O/U 44.5)
Western Michigan is a little banged up of the offensive line however they were able to piece it together last week and with a full week of practice should be ready for a trip to Hartford.  The Broncos will also be helped out since two of UConn’s linebackers are out and top corner Blidi Wreh-Wilson is out; his replacement, Gary Wilburn, has made two career starts and last week replacing Wilson was burned for a 45 yard pass and was flagged for a PI in the end zone…AGAINST BUFFALO; the same Bulls team that outgained UConn.  Alex Carder should have a huge day as Western Michigan pulls the upset.  Play WMU +3.

9.    Ball State @ Oklahoma (Oklahoma -37.5; O/U 60)
That is a ton of points; too much for my blood.  No Play.


1.    Toledo @ Temple (Temple -7.5; O/U 50) – No Play

Best of Luck

I'm on NIU, a bit worried about their defense though.

Laroja: CMU is bad, they have no idea what to do at QB and they won't be able to stop NIU....I think they will put up some points however not enough to matter.
