Week 11 O5 impact games

Picking the hot team usually backfires in the Sunbelt , but I'll go with Troy behind the running of  B J Smith (138 CAR, 860 YDS, 10 TD) in a squeaker at Ga Southern on Saturday.
MAC: #NIU is 5-0 in MAC play and will ride Childers arm to a home win over Toledo.
MWC: Brett Rypien  Boise St (222-328, 2779 YDS, 24 TD)  host a Fresno St D that has only given up 36 points in  five conference games this season. Who bends?  Fresno 20 BSU 19
CUSA: Southern Miss is coming off a narrow win over the #herd and will stumble a bit at UAB. Spencer Brown has a big rushing day for the Blazers.
AAC: I'm not seeing USF recovering from it's bad loss to #tulane. Cincy's D will contain the Bulls in a 24 16 win

Nov 8: Childers scored two rushing TDs and tossed  one in the #NIU 38-15 blowout of Toledo. Also Miami O edged Ohio and Buffalo rolled Kent St.
Nov 10: I was wrong as  the Fresno D couldn't handle #AlexanderMattison 
(30 CAR, 144 YDS, 2 TD)  and Rypien (269 yards passing, TD) in a 24-17 loss to Boise St. BSU moved to within a half of game USU, who they face in two weeks, in thne MWCM.
Nov 11: Werts was involved in all three Ga Southern TDs, but that wasn't enough as #troy rolled to a 35-21 win. #spencerbrown  scored on a 17 yard TD run in OT in UAB's 26-23 win. #michaelwarrenII rushed 154 yards and three TDs in Cincy's 35-21 win over USF.  4-1 for the weekend.
Surprises in the standings: SMU tied for first with Houston in the AACW. NTex-3rd in the CUSAW. Akron descendingtoward the MACE cellar. SDST falls into a tie for 2nd in the MWCW after being upset by UNLV yesterday. ULM atop the Sunbelt West.

  1. I like GA Southern over Troy. However, I dont usually bet against the home team.

  2. The Boise - Fresno St game is difficult one to pick. The "blue turf" will be the difference. LOL! I'm thinking this should be a close one.

  3. NIU is probably the best "program" in the MAC. They will take care of Toledo.

  4. Agree on the UAB game. They will win pretty easily. Barring injuries, they will probably win the conference championship. That's pretty amazing considering that the program was disbanded a couple of years ago. Good for them and an embarrassment to my Herd and WKU! Guess these teams have the basketball season to look forward to. 😆

  5. UAB appears to have "righted" the ship . I guess it's time for hoop predictions. NIU's win over BYU got me on board
