UPDATED POWER RANKINGS

  This Week saw the most change in rankings so far this season. Ohio State stays in the top spot, but Georgia has tied them in terms of rating. The Buckeyes came very close to dropping behind the Bulldogs. Meanwhile, Alabama traded places with Georgia. The Tide finally moved down after losing at LSU. Still, the road loss by a two point conversion was not enough to cause the marked fall Alabama has suffered in the traditional polls. Worry not 'Bama fans; the Tide have a lot of losing to do before becoming just another team. Tennessee remains in fourth after the not so surprising loss at Georgia. The SEC can still get two teams into the playoff if both Georgia and the Vols win out.  Just outside the top 4 is Michigan. The Wolverines are on a collision course for another undefeated matchup against Ohio State; this time in Columbus. A significant upgrade will be in order with a win there. USC remains in sixth but probably needs the defense to get some stops or this could be the ce...

Tuesday Night MACtion Bets

  WEEK 12 BETS Betting Info as of 11/15 per Bovada; lines are listed with Home Teams All Times are Eastern Tuesday, Nov 15 th Bowling Green @ Toledo (-17) 7:00 PM Laying big favorites is a tough task when the team giving points is not elite. The favorite needs to be vastly superior to the underdog once a spread eclipses two full scores. Otherwise, the underdog really needs to be a cellar dweller to justify laying the points. Toledo has played somewhat consistently with preseason expectations. However, the offense has failed to fire as much as anticipated. Sure, Jason Candle is among the top coaches in the MAC. But Laying this many points is not a great bet when the favorite is not elite. Still, Bowling Green finds itself on the cusp of bowl eligibility. The Falcons have beaten lesser competition and caught a few teams at the perfect times. An experienced passer and a competent coach make Bowling Green more than just a blip Toledo can look past. For that reason, Toledo can only be...

MACtion Wednesday Bets

  Wednesday, Nov 9 th Buffalo @ Central Michigan (-2.5) 7:00 PM Central Michigan is playing like a new team now that star running back Lew Nichols is back. The Chips have actually been able to move the ball allowing Jim McElwain to use the full playbook and make an actual game plan. Buffalo came back to earth after losing at Ohio last week. Yes, the Bulls are playing better than expected. However, it appears Buffalo reached its ceiling for the year. We should find out tonight. Central Michigan at its worst could beat Buffalo this season. Catching this spread prior to some drastic line movement would have made it a full play. However, it is pretty close to accurate at minus-2.5. The Play: CMU-2.5 (1 unit) Kent State @ Bowling Green (+2.5) 7:00 PM Kent State does not have a terrible loss this season. Kent State is playing to a lower rating than preseason predictions indicated they would largely due to the Fast Flash offense disappointing this season. Still, Kent State at its wors...
