MACtion Week 2 Discussion with Marsski

Akron's first KO ret TD since 2009! WM allowed two 1st H punt return TDs last week
 
well only need akron to get me one more td to get the team total.. not feeling great bout covering, the defense not playing any better with the lb coach taking over, good god they bad, wmu has like 250 on the ground already, just massive holes.
 
Akron looked decent tonight but really have no business playing osu to the wire. KJ Walton from Ball State transferred to Akron and is a classic Mac guard in his 7th year.
I’ll be interested to see the mac hoops scores tonight. Buffalo could be a bet against the wolverines tomorrow depending…

i really didnt think osu was gonna pull it out, Akron plays like a team who not afraid of the moment, they continued making big shot after big shot, didnt think the kid who made the 3 to tie it got fouled but nice shot then he canned the ft to go up 1 with 6 seconds left. osu freaking lucky they had a little defensive breakdown and gave up that last second layup to the big.. i needed that as i did a big fav parlay today. So far that was my only real scare, iona trailed for long time but pulled away late, arky had a awful 1st half (which they known for) but have really ramped it up in 2nd and bout to close it out.. im down to just needing iowa and st marys, wonder which one of them will put one last scare in me? lol

I have Akron as solid 2nd tier Mac. I thought the pressure look they gave OSU had them rattled….Buckeyes are deep this year but they need a lot out of Wheeler
 
Crazy the EMU tt is only 1-2 points off from pregame, was going in for more on over but no need to
 
Mac hoops I have:

Ohio
Buffalo

BG
Toledo
Akron
Kent
Miami
Ball State

All the directional schools are shitty with NIU/Central as the worst.

for sure, the offense looked clueless at times, and i didnt even catch the 15-1 run or whatever akron had early in 2nd half!
 
zips baby..forget the cover, they trying to win, i didnt have the balls for any that ml! lol
 
Good thing ISU hoops had a massive overhaul from a team that didn't win a big12 game last season

Top 4 scorers tonight last year played at Minnesota/Penn St/UNLV/freshman, guessing it might take a few games for the chemistry
 
poor akron, they just keep finding ways to lose games they so close to winning as huge dogs,, im so rooting for them to score and win in this last minute.
 
I always felt Maction lines said a lot. First week not so much. Last night they surely did.

By that theme it would be Ball, Toledo, and Kent just looking at the lines.
 
Last week I thought every dog was attractive. This week they are 2-1, but they didn't look as good and the one we felt should compete got blown out.

I find all the dogs tonight somewhat unattractive for one reason or another. Not as comfortable playing them. I'd prefer to have CM. Ball St -NIU looks like toss up. And I want BG but am leary of it. This is definitely a tougher week than last for me to pick.
 
NIU injury report might matter. Assuming WR Richie is out. What about Lombardi?

akron is gonna win one these damn games, i think im gonna start playing the ml even tho it so hard to watch them. i dunno how the hell they stay in these games? when you watch them the opponent has the biggest running lanes i ever seen!! yet there they are at the end with a chance to win. think it says as much bout these other mac teams as it does them, none of them very good, think that makes taking points or even ml much more appealing as i dunno if any of them should be laying them!!

I cant convince myself it makes any sense to play any these games tonight, huge NBA card where i have like 15 guys 3 point over props im on.. i freaking hate watching/following these games betting these but they been so money, it be cool to have a football game i could watch instead but i dont see one thing i feel confident enough to bet out of these 3 games, lol..

Now that ive went prop crazy in every sport im kinda looking at some props for tonight, when you got a 75 total with these defenses seems like a pretty good idea!!

CMU Nichols over 131.5 rushing... dude has smashed this in 5 of last 6 and 4 in a row, with all the plays they gonna get off and against a Kent st d allowing 5.2 ypc and over 200 rushing yards a game what is not to like?!! sign me up

Cephas ov93.5 rec yards
pimpleton ov 92.5 rec yards

look as those 2 numbers and now they up against another team that goes as fast as them! both teams allow over 300ypg thru the air and these the 2 dudes who gonna get them!!! I was hoping to get wake/unc props last week but they smartly didnt have any, they giving us some here so i say take advantage and play them!! who knows who gonna win? what i do know is it way more likely than 50% these guys hit these totals!!

those kent/cmu props seriously feel like a early xmas present.. bet them and if we dont hit at least 2 you can come back and yell at me!! lol.. seriously!! i suppose we could play the QBs passing totals also, neither one is excessively high but think i like those 3 better.
 
Fwiw, there's a good chance of moderate rain and winds in the mid-teens at the Cards/Huskies game...

:tiphat:

i was afraid you were gonna say kent st/cmu, thought i checked tho, lol.. dont think i can even bet the niu game if i wanted to, stupid Illinois rules where cant bet a college from that state.

i remember you saying no ncaa props, that sucks but not end of world i guess.. night like tonight it blows cause i think those props way better than any side or total in that game. i really dont understand some these dumb fuck arbitrary rules they apply, as if some kid from illini is out there right now thinking bout point shaving but the fact he cant bet the game at the local casino he decides not to bother!! lmfao..suppose some dumb fuck arbitrary rules still way better than my backward ass hick state that will never legalize!

Pretty sure AZ does it because of this guy, just glad we have it at all considering the heavily Mormon population

we have a heavy population of morons, they busy trying to ban abortion again, they much more into taking freedoms away than giving out more! bunch of fucking jerkoffs!!

here the thing, if a kid gonna shave points im quite sure he can figure out how to make it work even if he or anyone else cant bet the games at local casino!! it not as if we living in a time where you cant easily get around such things!!

Not to mention you can't register online for new books now. It was OK during Covid though..
 
I'm starting to not know who Ball State is. The week 1-4 Ball State? Or the week 5-7 Ball State that was only that good due to a +8 turnover ratio vs Army, WMich and EMich. Almost losing to Akron and losing to Miami Oh. Ball State should be better than that, just like they should've been better than they played in weeks 1-4, but they weren't. They appear like an overly dependent team on getting plus turnovers to win games.

Western Michigan almost losing to Akron again, is really bad.

Look, Akron played well, at times, in both those games and I don't want to take too much away from them, but Western Michigan has actually been pretty weak in several games, 15 points on Toledo? 20 points on Ball State and 24 points on Buffalo. With the WRs they have, the RBs they have there is no way their O should be so average. OL is bad, but still, it's the MAC. Western Michigan is finishing the season as a major disappointment. If I was a WM fan I would be beside myself at how much of a wasted year this has been after beating Pitt then not even competing for a division title.
 
I feel like I should trust what this season has shown me and take Bowling Green. Toledo football is broken. The O was terrible earlier this season, but the D carried them. Then last week the O exploded and the D imploded.

Bowling Green has been so super competitive, they are 7-2 ATS. 7-1 ATS as dogs. Only lost to Kent by 8 catching 16. Only lost to NIU by 8 catching 9. Eastern Mich smacked them around, but that game is the outlier. Nobody else has done that. Can Toledo do that? What Toledo team is going to show up?

Toledo is just 4-5 ATS as and has lost FOUR times STRAIGHT UP as favorites (Colorado St, NIU, CMich, EMich), just 2-4 straight up as a favorite vs FBS (Ball St by 10 an UMass by 38).

Historically it is a series Toledo dominates. Historically this is a puzzling Toledo team.

I walk down to the corner and call Vinny on the pay phone for my bets, and Vinny don't take prop bets

All my vinny’s of the past would start out saying to me they take whatever then after I bust their heads for a minute they started changing rules.

It was really hard to understand how Akron was in either game. Teams should crush them with that redic bad defense but more times than not they find a way to hang around. Just speaks to how bad these mac teams are this year imo.

You say you don’t know who ball st is, I can’t figure any these mac teams out week to week! Lol

My favorite line I got probably a dozen years ago "hey Scott I'm not the Mirage". I can sometimes get stuff normal people don't get. Really I got a great local, 25 years.
