I think I’ll wait a week and see who’s not going to play.

Probably a good idea. Lines could change, just as they have this week.

Every MAC school is an underdog.

I would think Ohio would be favored against a 6-6 Georgia Southern team but everyone they mention in their Game Notes season summary is in the portal. They are so without their normal starters - especially on offense - that they didn’t even publish a two deep.

Toledo is out West playing Wyoming without Finn and their All American corner.

I think EMU caught a bad draw - playing USA in their home stadium.

I think BG, NIU and Miami can win.

Yesterday the line on App State bumped up to the magic betting number of 7 and I bet on Miami. I can only think that rain and especially wind will hurt the App State and Miami passing game and make special team play more important. It would have been a great game to have Aveon at QB.
