Nick's Picks Week #2 - Nick in Cleveland - 09-08-2017 12:11 PM After going 11-1 last week, the games get a lot harder this week... Friday, September 8 Purdue 27 - Ohio 23 I want to pick the Bobcats but like Ball State last week losing to Illinois, I see a late game fade for the real OU, hope I'm wrong here Saturday, September 9 Buffalo 13 - Army 10 UB's defense looked excellent last week at Minnesota and I just can't see Army being a two-TD favorite here Ball State 41 - UAB 17 This new UAB is no where near as good as the old one that briefly departed Michigan State 26 - Western Michigan 24 Like the OU/Purdue game above, I hope I'm wrong here. Somehow MAC schools almost always find a way to lose these tight games instead of winning Eastern Michigan 28 Rutgers 24 A loss to Rutgers would be deflating for EMU who are now at the point under this coaching staff to expect to win a game like this now Miami 44 - Austin Peay 20 RedHawks get back to winning again Northern Illinois 29 - Eastern Illinois 27 NIU needs to win this game; EIU is a very good team though Kent State 24 - Howard 20 I know Howard won at UNLV last week so you've got to think Kent State looked at that game film and found something to exploit - right? Hope so Central Michigan 27 - Kansas 24 Any loss to Kansas at this point in time would be sad for a Chip program looking to be bowl eligible in December Bowling Green 34 - South Dakota 28 Remember almost losing to North Dakota last year? This SDU team is better than that NDU team Akron 38 - Arkansas-Pine Bluff 23 A true must win for Akron Toledo 34 -Nevada 30 Can't believe UT is nearly a 10-point pick here; the Wolf Pack at home are a good team...any win is a good win against a MWC team As you can see - expect a lot of close calls this weekend involving MAC team, hope we win more than we lose... RE: Nick's Picks Week #2 - emu steve - 09-08-2017 12:55 PM Great weekend to warm up with Ohio @ Pa due and then go from noon to late evening tomorrow. If one game bombs out, just flip the channel and get another MAC game.

Must have had a couple tabs open. Nice catch on this. RE: Nick's Picks Week #2 - Nick in Cleveland - 09-12-2017 01:51 PM Week #1 Record: 11-1 Week #2 Record: 10-2 YTD Totals: 21-3 Nick's Pick: Purdue 27 - Ohio 23 Actual: Purdue 44 - Ohio 21 Not surprised that Purdue won, very surprised that OU was not competitive Nick's Pick: Buffalo 13 - Army 10 Actual: Army 21 - Buffalo 17 UB let one slip by here...UB looks better in their two losses so far than BG does though Nick's Pick: Ball State 41 - UAB 17 Actual: Ball State 51 - UAB 31 Ball State needs to work in their defense Nick's Pick: Michigan State 26 - Western Michigan 24 Actual: Michigan State 28 - Western Michigan 14 A game much closer than the final score shows Nick's Pick: Eastern Michigan 28 Rutgers 24 Actual: Eastern 16 - Rutgers 13 Kudos to the Hurons for their first win over a Big Ten / Power 5 team Nick's Pick: Miami 44 - Austin Peay 20 Actual: Miami 31 - Austin Peay 10 A nice tune up before their annual show down with Cincy Nick's Pick: Northern Illinois 29 - Eastern Illinois 27 Actual: Northern 38 - Eastern 10 If you know anything about EIU, you know this is a very good team that has beaten a lot of MAC teams through the years...nice win NIU Nick's Pick: Kent State 24 - Howard 20 Actual: Kent State 38 - Howard 31 Any Kent State football win is a good win Nick's Pick: Central Michigan 27 - Kansas 24 Actual: Central 45 - Kansas 27 2nd straight year Central beats a Big 12 team - well done Nick's Pick: Bowling Green 34 - South Dakota 28 Actual: South Dakota 35 - BGSU 27 South Dakota is a pretty good team but BG must win games like this...another long season for the Falcons...and while I was hoping this would be the first year since the creation of FCS that the MAC would not lose to a FCS team during the season, it only took to week #2 to have that wish spoiled Nick's Pick: Akron 38 - Arkansas-Pine Bluff 23 Actual: Akron 52 - APB 3 Like Kent State, any Akron football win is a good win Nick's Pick: Toledo 34 -Nevada 30 Actual: Toledo 37 - Nevada 24 Nice road win against a MWC team |
