USA TODAY
All six writers picked San Diego State to win.
Los Angeles Times
Jim McElwain’s Chippewas are recovering from a loss to Miami of Ohio in the Mid-American Conference championship game. San Diego State should be able to run the ball effectively against Central Michigan. San Diego State 24-17
The Action Cookbook
It’s believed that the robots escaped from a previously-undisclosed military research facility. The desert holds many secrets, and when there’s no one left to hear them, they stay that way. The cities were overrun within hours; civilian weapons were of no use against them. They were methodical, merciless, and they were everywhere.
CBS Sports
Over the last 10 season, MAC teams are 20-39-1 against the spread in bowl games, the worst of any FBS conference. My starting position for many of these bowl games is therefore to fade the MAC, especially when that team is 2-5 playing away from home. Central Michigan’s outright division crown was significant for McElwain and his efforts to improve the program, but it does not serve as evidence that the Chips are on San Diego State’s level. Also, I love the under in this game. Pick: San Diego State (-3.5)
ESPN
CMU coach Jim McElwain has a mini Mountain West reunion against Rocky Long, who coached New Mexico from 1998 to 2008 and is 1-1 in this game. McElwain’s offense is diverse and dynamic, but San Diego State’s defense poses a major challenge. The Aztecs force a lot of mistakes and make very few of their own, and they’ll grind out a win behind linebacker Kyahva Tezino and an excellent front seven.
Prediction: San Diego State 21, Central Michigan 16
Athlon Sports
All three go with San Diego State.
