Kent State vs Akron Game Preview

Why Kent State Will Win

This matters for bowl eligibility.

It’s all about next week against Miami University no matter what – the winner ends up taking the East and going to the MAC Championship – but the Golden Flashes aren’t going to want to worry about whether or not they’ll need that to get to a swag bag game in some exotic locale.

The FlashFast style of offense continues to destroy everything in its path, leading the MAC in total offense, rushing offense, and leading the nation in turnover margin. This team can turn the lights out in a hurry with its attack going against an Akron defense that doesn’t stop anything, but …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 12

Why Akron Will Win

The Kent State defense has been miserable.

It gives up close to 500 yards per game, it can’t stop anyone’s running game, and it’s even worse against the pass, allowing close to 300 yards an outing. Akron might be struggling overall, but the passing game has clicked with over 300 yards in each of the last two games.

– NFL Expert Picks: CFN Week 11

What’s Going To Happen

Akron interim head coach Oscar Rodriguez Jr. might not have a win, but the offense hasn’t been that bad. It’ll crank things up at home with one of its best performances of the year, but it won’t matter.

The Akron D has allowed 425 yards or more in each of the last four games and in six of the last seven, and it’s about to get hit for close to 600 yards.

Northern Illinois vs Buffalo Game Preview

Why Northern Illinois Will Win

It’s right there for the taking. Win this, win the MAC West and go play for the conference championship.

The defense has been a tad sketchy over the last few weeks, but the offense has found the explosion through the air now that everyone has loaded up to stop the run.

Buffalo can’t stop any of it.

The Bulls are getting roasted through the air over the last two weeks – you’re doing something wrong if you’re getting blown up by Bowling Green and Miami University – but this should be about the run defense. UB gives up 200 yards per game on the ground with too much ease.

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 12

Why Buffalo Will Win

The Buffalo offense has to keep up at home.

It went bye-bye last week in the blowout loss to Miami University, but it rolled for close to 500 yards against Bowling Green after coming up with 454 against Akron.

Okay, so big days on those two might not seem like that bit a deal, but the Northern Illinois pass defense doesn’t make enough big things happen and the run D was rolled by Ball State and Kent State for over 600 yards over the last two weeks.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Buffalo keep its bowl hopes alive – it needs to win this and beat Ball State next week – all while making Northern Illinois work for the West? It’ll be up in the first half as it comes out smoking in the final home game of the season.

But the Huskies will get the passing game going in the second half as Rocky Lombardi stays hot after a fantastic last three weeks. The balance will kick in late with two big scoring drives to finally pull away.

Central Michigan vs Ball State Game Preview

Why Central Michigan Will Win

There’s a chance Central Michigan can still win the MAC West by winning its last two games and Northern Illinois losing its last two. Unfortunately, NIU is playing Buffalo at the same time this is happening – there might be a wee bit of scoreboard watching happening.

The Chippewas lost to NIU in a 39-38 thriller a few weeks ago, but that’s been the only blip over the last five games as the offense has been consistent through the air and good enough running the ball to keep up with the Kent States and Toledos of the world.

Ball State doesn’t have much of a downfield passing game, it doesn’t control the clock, and …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 12

Why Ball State Will Win

The offense is running all over everyone lately.

The Cardinals were right there with Northern Illinois only to lose 30-29 – but they ran for 246 yards.

After doing nothing on the ground for most of the year, they’ve hit 200 yards in three of the last four games to balance out a decent enough offense that’s more effective than the overall stats.

Central Michigan won’t pick off a whole lot of passes and it’s more than happy to give up close to 300 yards a game through the air, but …

What’s Going To Happen

The Central Michigan run defense has been a rock. It allowed over 200 yards to Missouri to start the season, and that’s been it – only Northern Illinois has come close to two bills.

However, Ball State is finally back in Muncie after playing four of its last five games on the road, and at 5-5 it needs this a whole lot more than 6-4 Central Michigan does.

The defending MAC champs will rise up defensively in the fourth quarter in yet another close game – the last four Ball State games have been decided by a touchdown or less.

Toledo vs Ohio Game Preview

Why Toledo Will Win

Toledo is bowl eligible with a win and would keep MAC East hopes alive – at least for a day.

The Rockets are rolling offensively with close to 1,200 yards of total O over the last two weeks, rolling up an almost perfect balance to beat Bowling Green last week.

The running game has been terrific all year, the offense is playing the best it has all season, and the defense continues to be the best in the league even after getting ripped up by Eastern Michigan a few weeks ago.

Ohio needs to be perfect to win this, but it doesn’t force turnovers, and Toledo leads the nation in fewest giveaways, but …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 12

Why Ohio Will Win

Ohio has finally turned it on, but it’s too late.

The team couldn’t win close games, ensured a losing season, and then it rocked back with two nice wins over Miami University and Eastern Michigan with an improved passing game and a big ground attack that’s cranking up enough big plays to matter.

For all of the positives with Toledo, it’s 5-5 for a reason.

Either the running game stalls, or the pass defense crashes in a loss to Eastern Michigan, or the run defense doesn’t work against Northern Illinois – there are too many issues.

The O line allows too many plays in the backfield, there are a bazillion penalties, and it’s a struggle to keep the chains moving. Ohio has to run well, but …

What’s Going To Happen

The Toledo run defense has been terrific – for the most part.

Can the Rockets finally come up with a little bit of consistency? It hasn’t been easy to win close games, but four of the five losses were by three points or fewer.

Ohio is playing strong, though, and it’ll come up with one more big performance as it finishes up with a nice thorn-in-the-side win at home.

Western Michigan vs Eastern Michigan Game Preview

Why Western Michigan Will Win

Can Western Michigan finally get its season going?

Oh sure, its bowl eligible, but it needs to win this and beat Northern Illinois next week – and get a whole bunch of other stuff to happen – to have a shot at winning a piece of the MAC West title. More realistically, it needs a win to solidify one of the league’s more interesting bowls.

It’s been a rough run to come up with the same offensive performance for a few games in a row, and even last week it took something massive from the O to get by a bad Akron team.

The Broncos control the ball, the defense gets off the field, the pass rush is great, the offense is balanced enough to be unstoppable, and …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 12

Why Eastern Michigan Will Win

Western Michigan is 5-5 for a reason. The defense is giving up way too passing yards, it’s allowing too many drives to turn into points, and there’s a massive turnover problem with ten in the last five games.

Eastern Michigan hasn’t exactly been all that consistent, either, but the offense has found something that works.

The passing game has gone off over the last month with 325 yards or more in each of the last four games with the points coming in bunches for the MAC’s best offense in scoring and third down conversions.

Western Michigan does a whole lot of things right defensively, but the secondary doesn’t make enough big plays and it should give up over 200 yards getting off the bus.

What’s Going To Happen

Ready for weird? There’s actually a way for 3-7 Ohio to win the MAC East. It’s not going to happen, but it’s still possible if it keeps on winning. With that out of the way …

Get ready for a fun and wild shootout.

Eastern Michigan already lost to Northern Illinois so it basically needs a major miracle to get a part of a division title, but it’s bowl eligible, it’s fun, and it’s at home with a passing game that should be able to keep up with a Western Michigan offense that’s going to score and keep the pressure on for a full 60 minutes.

Bowling Green vs Miami University Game Preview

Why Bowling Green Will Win

Bowling Green can’t play the role of spoiler – Miami University has to win next week against Kent State no matter what to take the MAC East – but it can certainly make things scary for a 5-5 RedHawk team tying to get bowl eligible.

The Falcons got rim-rocked by Toledo last week, but the offense was balanced and terrific the week before in a shocking win over Buffalo. Miami doesn’t make enough big plays in the secondary, the ground game has only hit the 200-yard mark once against FBS teams, and …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 11

Why Miami University Will Win

Bowling Green’s offense doesn’t score enough.

The 56 hung on Buffalo aside, getting to 28 points is an issue for the Falcons – they didn’t do it against anyone but the Bulls.

Miami’s defense got into a fight with Ohio a few weeks ago, but it’s been among the best in the MAC in total defense and scoring D, allowing 23 points or fewer in eight of the last nine games.

Control the game with an offensive line that doesn’t allow plays behind the line, rely on the defense, assume Bowling Green will get hit with at least eight penalties.

– NFL Expert Picks: CFN Week 10

What’s Going To Happen

Again, this game sort of doesn’t matter to Miami in the MAC race, but getting bowl eligible now is a must – it doesn’t want to take its chances at relying on a win over Kent State.

It’ll get it with a slow and controlled game against a Bowling Green defense that will give up third down conversion after third down conversion.

UMass vs Maine Game Preview

Why Maine Will Win

UMass is trying to get through the season.

Head coach Walt Bell was let go a few weeks ago, the team has one win – it came over a depleted UConn team – and it’s struggling in too many areas.

The Huskies just lost to Rhode Island 35-22. Maine beat the Rams a few weeks ago 45-24.

The Maine offensive line is decent at keeping defenses out of the backfield, the offense has picked it up over the second half of the season, and the team should be able to win the battle up front on both sides. But …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 11

Why UMass Will Win

Maine doesn’t do much to get into the backfield.

There’s no pass rush to worry about, the secondary is sketchy, and the offense doesn’t go on long, drawn out marches.

For all of the problems UMass has, it’s not bad at slowing things down and controlling the clock. The passing game wasn’t all that bad in the loss to Rhode Island, Ellis Merriweather ran for 118 yards and a score, and the offense should be able to move a bit against the porous Maine D that allows close to 400 yards per game.

– NFL Expert Picks: CFN Week 10

What’s Going To Happen

UMass just can’t seem to catch the right breaks at the right times.

The offense going put enough points on the board in the second half against Rhode Island, and now it’s getting a Maine team that’s a wee bit of the opposite. It’s not playing great, but it’s finding ways to get wins helped by the defense holding up just enough.

Army vs Bucknell Game Preview

Why Bucknell Will Win

The Bison don’t often beat themselves.

There aren’t a lot of penalties, they don’t have a massive turnover problem, and they’re decent at finishing off drives they get the chance – at least over the last few games.

To have any chance in this, they have to be at least +2 in the turnover battle. The problem for Army is that the defense doesn’t take the ball away. Bucknell has to force a few fumbles – it’s good at coming up with recoveries – and has to take advantage of every opportunity because …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 11

Why Army Will Win

You know how most football teams like to score points? Yeah, Bucknell doesn’t really do that.

The Bison offense failed to score more than six points in four of the fist five games and average just 9.8 points per outing. That’s one side of the ball

The run defense is a bigger problem.

There aren’t any plays behind the line and the run defense struggles to come up with stops. Army should be able to run at will.

– NFL Expert Picks: CFN Week 10

What’s Going To Happen

Coming off the win over Air Force, Army busted through a three-game losing streak and now can become bowl eligible win.

This will be a scrimmage.

Bucknell doesn’t control the clock, can’t score, and it doesn’t holt up against the run. Army will go on a few long marches to control the game from the start. It’ll be over by halftime.

Arkansas State vs ULM Game Preview

Why Arkansas State Will Win

Can the offense ramp it back up?

It hit a wall over the last month against the stars of the Sun Belt – at least the teams with the great defenses – but the offense is still dangerous. There’s still a passing game there, and it should bust out this week against a ULM defense that’s among the worst in the country at stopping teams from throwing.

ULM doesn’t have a consistent offense, either, it’s awful on this downs, and again, the defense has issues against teams that can throw, allowing 249 yards or more against everyone by Liberty.

However …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 11

Why ULM Will Win

The Arkansas State defense continues to be a tad sketchy.

Just as the offense has stalled out, the defense hasn’t been able to pick up the slack. It continues to be the worst in America allowing 548 yards per game having the roughest time against the run.

ULM has been able to throw well over the second half of the season, but it needs the balance to do what it wants. The offense is good when it gets its chances, it doesn’t have a big problem with turnovers, and Arkansas State – along with everything else – struggles in the turnover margin.

– NFL Expert Picks: CFN Week 10

What’s Going To Happen

ULM will stay in the hunt for a bowl game.

It has four wins, it’ll get the fifth by rolling well early against the porous Arkansas State D, and then it’ll come down to the road games at LSU and Louisiana.

So, basically, ULM has to enjoy the home finale. It’s going to be a shootout, but ULM will control the game a bit more.

Louisiana vs Troy Game Preview

Why Louisiana Will Win

The Ragin’ Cajuns already have the Sun Belt West locked up along with a bowl bid, but they have a shot for more than that.

If they win out and take the Sun Belt title, they might be a Cincinnati loss from being deep in the hunt for a New Year’s Six bid.

For now, they just need to be sharper.

Yeah, they’re winning, but too many games are a fight. They’re used to close battles, and this should be that against a Troy team with a good enough defense to be nasty.

However, Louisiana has the offense that can control the clock. It does all the little things right – it doesn’t turn the ball over, the punting game is solid, and the defense holds up when it has to.

Troy doesn’t have a big-time offense, but …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 11

Why Troy Will Win

The Trojan defense continues to hold up just fine.

This might not be a high-powered team, but it’s able stop the run, the D gets off the field on third downs, and the pass rush is enough to be a bother for a Ragin’ Cajun offense that’s used to owning the offensive front.
