Oh That Wacky MAC

We got busted again last night.  This time by a team that won despite passing for only 78 yards.  Seriously, a team scored 31 points, busted an 8.5 point spread and won outright with a QB named Boo who threw for 78 yards.  A QB Named Boo Who Threw sounds like a god-damn Dr. Seuss book except we're not laughing.  Trying to pick games in the MAC is like trying to pick games in the NFL this season.  What you learn one week only serves to ensure that you lose your bets the next week.  Nothing continues from week to week so you almost do yourself a disservice by watching and scouting football.  Every game is its own entity with nothing from the past indicating its outcome in any way.  Oh Joy.  What a way to make money.  Well, we at the Locks are not quitters.  We're going to keep on plugging along knowing that there is some sort of winning streak out there to be had.

Two Star Special:

Bowling Green @ Toledo - Line is Toledo -10 - This is a major, major rivalry so despite the fact that Bowling Green (them of the bad bowling jokes last week) is suffering through a miserable 2-8 season the Falcons will show up for this game.  Less than 30 miles separates these schools and they play their annual game under the banner of the "Glass Bowl."  The Falcons have taken the past three Glass Bowls and played Miami of Ohio very tight last week (losing on a last second FG).  The Rockets of Toledo look like the better team in nearly every facet of the game but we've seen where those credentials have gotten other favored teams this year.  With a rivalry that means so much to players on bad teams, we're left to expect a close game marked by extraordinary effort.  In those cases, we'll take the points and hope for the best.  Final score is 33-27.  LOCK IT UP
