small plays

central michigan over 51
buffalo (+6)
buffalo moneyline (+210)

central michigan has thrown the ball an obscene amount of times the last two weeks. smith was 33/51 for 382 against northern illinois, and then 46/70 against western michigan last week. chips title hopes were crushed against northern illinois and it showed in their defensive effort last week. theyve made tons of progress this season but get the feeling the playcalling will be super aggressive again today with nothing to lose. ball state/cmu played in the season finale last year and the final was 41-40.

very conceivable that emu could mail this game in today. they have no senior leadership, so the whole 'win for the seniors' in their final game gets tossed out the window. they completely collapsed last week against ball state, blowing a 25-7 lead in the final 7:00 and losing 26-25. much like kent state, emich is just a losing progrram that doesnt give any indication of giving a damn about 'pride' at this point of the season. emu grossly underachieved this year and a road loss to buffalo would be a fitting end to the season. bulls have been very competitive at home this year in front of their 1,000 or so fans each game, and those gms were against teams far better than emu.

gl with the plays Gman! was leaning to E. Mich but maybe Buff now.

if thats the case, always pass. the last thing you want to do is drive yourself nuts trying to find the right side in a game involving two bad football teams. i do, however, tend to think that the bulls win here. gl griffin.

Do you know what the weather conditions are for CMU/Ball St today? I thinkin that over may be a strong play as long as it isnt terribly windy.

thanks, gman. i was looking at buffalo, but was leaning towards laying off... wasn't sure if they could get it done two weeks in a row. but they are 3-1 ATS at home, most of the world seems to like EMU, and you are on buffalo. that is enough for me... go bulls!!

smitty:

dont like seeing fletcher on the other side of this one. but trusting what ive seen from emu this year. theyre not a confident football team.

another thing that should probably be added is that emu has lost tough games in back to back weeks. two weeks ago against western michigan, they rallied from a 20-pt deficit and scored a touchdown to get within one point with a few minutes to go. but they tried to go for 2 and the win and missed it. then they blow that 25-7 lead in the 4th quarter last week. so this team has to really be doubting themselves right now. just dont see them showing any heart here. we'll see.

great point. they won't exactly be fired up for finishing the season in buffalo. believe me, i've been on some losing football teams. a situation like this... you just want to get the season over with. tough laying 6 points on the road under those circumstances.
