MAC Power Poll - Central Michigan and Temple are the Best Bets

The MAC has had a mixed bag of college football betting results so far in the 2009 season. Check out this week’s MAC power poll brought to you by BetUS Sportsbook!

1: Central Michigan Chippewas (3-0 ATS, 3-1 SU) (LW: 2) Give the Chippies some credit for bouncing back from a 19-6 loss to Arizona in the first week of the season to post three very strong victories in a row. Truth be told, Central Michigan should be well on its way to the Motor City Bowl, as it doesn't seem like there is anyone else in this conference that can hang with QB Dan LeFevour and this offense.

Up Next: Away @ Buffalo (-8)

2: Temple Owls (2-0 ATS, 1-2 SU) (LW: 5) Had the Owls not lost to Villanova in Week 1, we could be talking about a team that would be thinking about bowl eligibility. As it is, Temple will be favored in its next three games, and it's very possible to believe that six wins is still at least fathomable. There can't be a slip up in the near future though.

Up Next: Away @ Eastern Michigan (-5)

3: Northern Illinois Huskies (3-1 ATS, 2-2 SU) (LW: 1) Funny things happen in college football sometimes, and Northern Illinois was about as strange as it gets over these L/2 weeks. After beating Purdue in Lafayette two weeks ago, the Huskies turned around and were upset at home by lowly Idaho as double-digit home favorites. Will the real NIU team please stand up?

Up Next: Home vs. Western Michigan (-7)

4: Toledo Rockets (2-2 ATS, 2-2 SU) (LW: 6) Toledo's offense rolled up 566 yards against Florida International last Saturday. Don't let the ten-point margin of victory fool you into thinking that this was a close game; the Rockets would've won by a much more impressive final if not for a late inconsequential Golden Panthers touchdown with just 0:03 to play. MAC play kicks off for the Rockets this week in Muncie.

Up Next: Away @ Ball State (-6)

5: Bowling Green Falcons (2-2 ATS, 1-3 SU) (LW: 4) Boise State got really angry at Bowling Green on Saturday night, as the Falcons never stood a chance against the mighty Broncos. This Saturday starts a brand new season for BGSU as conference play starts, so it'll have to get these last three losses out of its head quickly.

Up Next: Home vs. Ohio (-3)

6: Akron Zips (2-2 ATS, 1-3 SU) (LW: 4) The Zips did... well... zip... against Central Michigan last week, losing 48-21 and coming nowhere near covering the 16-point spread. We don't know what's scarier for this offense... The fact that the leading rusher on the team has mustered just 90 yards through four games or that the leading passer only has 320.

Up Next: Bye

And the rest…

7: Ohio Bobcats (2-2 ATS, 2-2 SU) (LW: 8)

8: Buffalo Bulls (1-3 ATS, 1-3 SU) (LW: 7)

9: Kent State Golden Flashes (1-2 ATS, 2-2 SU) (LW: 11)

10: Eastern Michigan Eagles (1-2 ATS, 0-3 SU) (LW: 9)

11: Western Michigan Broncos (1-3 ATS, 2-2 SU) (LW: 10)

12: Miami Redhawks (0-4 ATS, 0-4 SU) (LW: 12)
