Games for October 10, 1992
--------------------------

Ohio @ Bowling Green: This could be ugly.  The Bobcats sport only a single
                      victory and that came at the expense of hapless Kent.
Bolwing Green's only two loses have come at the hands of Wisconsin and Ohio
State.  (And, incidentally, the law of transitivity held in this case!)
Bolwing Green should roll at home although they have made a habit of having to
come from behind.  My pick, Bowling Green by 7.

Akron @ Kent: That's right - it's the Zips and the Flashes.  Akron has done
              much better than most people predicted whereas Kent has won only
once and that was versus winless Eastern Michigan.  This game is for Homecoming
honor though so maybe Kent can put it togethr.  My pick, Akron by 4.

Western Michigan @ Toledo: Although Toledo sports a big win over Purdue, the
                           Rockets are still looking for their first MAC
victory.  Toledo is always tough in the Glass Bowl but the Broncos could prove
up to the task.  My pick, Western by 1.

Central Michigan @ Miami: The Chippewas are looking to rebound after a 
                          disapointing loss to Bowling Green.  The loss dropped
Central out of first place in the conference and you can bet that the
Chippewas will be fired up for their game with the Redskins.  Miami is always
tough at home and has a very strong defense.  But the Redskin offense has
lacked that knockout punch until last week's game against winless Eastern
Michigan.  My pick, Central by 1.

Eastern Michigan @ Ball State: The Eagles lost for their new head coach Jan 
                               Quarless and things won't get any easier for 
them as they must travel to Muncie to face a high-powered Cardinals offense.  
Don't look for coach Quarless to break into the win column this week.  My pick,
Ball State by 14.
