RE: 2017 MAC Football Pick 'Em -- Week 7
Toughest week thus far. Most of these games are toss ups.

Eastern Michigan at Army - I want to pick EMU in this game but their offense has shown nothing and Army is at home.
Akron at Western Michigan - I don't think Akron is for real.
Miami at Kent State - Kent is horrible.
Northern Illinois at Buffalo - NIU has a good defense and UB's new QB struggles.
Ohio at Bowling Green - BG comes back to reality this weekend.
Toledo at Central Michigan - CMU is healthy while Toledo is banged up, also Homecoming for CMU.

RE: 2017 MAC Football Pick 'Em -- Week 7
EMU @ Army should be a 'classic' (of sorts).

EMU has a very stout defense, very deep up front vs. the very effective Army ground game (why would Army go by air??? Lol).

Kind of like the 'irresistibly force and the immovable object.'

I've seen games where Army shredded EMU's front seven like cheese, but this year is much, much different.

BTW, EMU plays a 4 - 2 defense. I have no idea what they will do Saturday but apparently they have been planning for this game since Summer.

RE: 2017 MAC Football Pick 'Em -- Week 7
Akron @ Western Michigan
Looks like the Broncos have found their offense. I, also, am not sold on the Zips being a true East contender.
WMU

Toledo @ Central Michigan
I think people were underestimating the Chippewas after their loss to Miami. They can beat anyone, and have shown they can take down the team that wins the West (see their record vs NIU these past couple seasons).
CMU

Ohio @ Bowling Green St
The Falcons can beat the middle-tier of the MAC, but not quite that tier the Bobcats are in
OU

Northern Illinois @ Buffalo
If the Bulls really are an East contender, they should be able to get a game or 2 vs the West
UB

Miami of Ohio @ Kent St
Should be a good win for the Redhawks after the unexpected L last week. Should be.
MU

Eastern Michigan @ Army
This one's tricky. The Black Knights played a relatively easy schedule outside of Ohio St.
Army

Game of the Week: Huskies @ Bulls
(an East contender vs a West contender)

RE: 2017 MAC Football Pick 'Em -- Week 7
This week will separate the pack a lot.

Eastern Michigan at Army
Akron at Western Michigan
Miami at Kent State
Northern Illinois at Buffalo
Ohio at Bowling Green
Toledo at Central Michigan

If in future seasons we want to switch things up a bit we could try a 'pick the underdog' challenge - you'd basically post every FBS game and spread early in the week, we'd pick one where you think an upset will occur, and if it happens you get the number of points the favorite was given.

Tough week to pick them. Possible upsets abound. I'm banking on several of the west powers winning tight ones.
