What a good way to start the season! FAU came back in the second half being down 28-12 and blocked a potential 28-yard game-winning field goal on the final play to hold off UAB in a 32-31 win in the season opener for both teams on Thursday night.
Not only did FAU cover, they won straight up.

I won’t be picking any of tonight’s games, but I will post my Saturday picks later today!

Ohio (9-3) at Central Michigan (10-2)
Line: Central Michigan by 13.
Friday, 8:00 ET
I really don’t understand how one MAC team can be a 13-point favorite over another if they have similar records. All of these teams are the same.
Prediction: Central Michigan 31, Ohio 30
Ohio +13 (2 Units)
Two more picks after the ads.
San Jose State (2-9) at Louisiana Tech (3-8)
Line: Louisiana Tech by 23.
Saturday, 2:00 ET
How cute, a 3-8 team favored by 23.
Prediction: Louisiana Tech 26, San Jose State 14
San Jose State +23 (4 Unit)
New Mexico State (3-9) at Boise State (12-0)
Line: Boise State by 47.5.
Saturday, 3:00 ET
How is Boise State favored by 47.5 when they average 44.3 points per game? Makes no sense.
Prediction: Boise State 45, New Mexico State 3
New Mexico State +47.5 (2 Units)

I will post my BCS Bowl picks in the coming week. Until then here is Pete Fiutak’s take on them.
“Now that the slate is set, we break down each of the five BCS bowls:
BCS Championship Game: Oklahoma vs. Florida
This might not quite be Texas vs. USC at the end of the 2006 season, but it’s not far off. If nothing else, the speed and athleticism on both sides will be breathtaking. Putting the whole Texas debate aside, this is the matchup that everyone really wants, at least outside of Austin, with the potential to be among the best BCS games ever if the two teams play up to their capabilities. At the very least the month-long pregame analysis will be a blast. The record-setting Oklahoma offense vs. a Florida attack that’s better than anything Steve Spurrier ever put together. Athletes galore on both defenses, questions about the toughness of OU, the secondary of Florida, and the head coaches with mega-watt star power will be among the main topics. Urban Meyer and Bob Stoops will each look to go from elite to another level of legendary with a second national title for the résumé, the Heisman debate will be settled a game too late, and the reputation of the two power conferences will be at stake. It was a down year for the SEC, but a win by Florida would make everything seem fine as the league would take home its third straight national title. For Oklahoma, a win would end the ugly slide of bad performances in BCS games, making amends for past sins against West Virginia, Boise State, USC and LSU.

Last night’s pick was a push. Ball St. should have covered but they couldn’t stop LaFevour.
Tonight I have decided not to pick this game. I dont think UM will play well as a ranked team, but I also think that Georgia Tech’s option will not do as well either.
Look for Saturday’s picks tomorrow (Friday) around 2.

Tonight the MAC has one of its biggest games so far this season, as the No. 17 ranked Ball State Cardinals (10-0) look to remain perfect on the season when they travel to take on the two time defending MAC Conference champions in the Central Michigan Chippewas (8-2). Now Ball State might have the better record overall going into this one, but both teams are 6-0 in conference play with just two games remaining, but its not just them as Western Michigan sits at 6-1 with a matchup against Ball State in the final regular season game. Now there is no question the Cardinals have more to lose going into this one, as a perfect record and Conference Championship will likely land them in a big time bowl game this season.
