Week 5 Picks - The MAC

Staying completely in the MAC this week after going 2-2 in week 1.

at Ball State -4 Northern Illinois - The Cardinals have been playing well and the Huskies have been horrible this year. Ball State should be able to control the game and win comfortably.

Eastern Michigan +2.5 at Bowling Green - The Eagles have a chance to go to a bowl game for the first time in a long time. The Falcons have been a mess on defense, giving up 77 to both Ohio State and Memphis this year. I like Eastern Michigan to cover and have a good chance to win.

Ohio -3 at Miami,OH - The Bobcats are only 2-2 but played Tennessee tough. The Redhawks are 0-4 but played Cincinnati close. The MAC East is not very good, and Miami is the worst of the bunch, so it's the Bobcats.

Akron -7 at Kent State - The Zips have been scoring against everyone, except Wisconsin, though lots of teams have had that problem this year, right LSU and Michigan State? The Golden Flashes are not scoring. Akron wins by double-digits.

Western Michigan at Central Michigan Over 58.5 - This should be a fun game with lots of points. Chippewas will keep it close and may even take the Broncos down, but there will be a lot of points
