It’s not surprising that the worst of the MAC games (is there really a best?) takes place on a Friday when most of us are out hitting the happy hours.
The Central Michigan Chippewas fight against Kent State Golden Flashes on Friday November 4th at Dix Stadium.
What’s shocking, however, is that you can actually watch this game on ESPN2.
We guess there’s only so many times you can see ‘World Series of Poker’ reruns (the cards never seem to change).
With the November Nine (final table) set for the following Tuesday, we’re actually surprised that ESPN execs didn’t have it pushed to replace this college football bluff.
And speaking of frauds, how about that Central Michigan defense that is in complete shambles, allowing 444 YPG to FBS foes this season?
That’s 112 more yards per game than Kent’s under-the-radar stop-unit, which has held three opponents to season-low yardage in 2011.

And despite a 4-11 ATS record on weekdays, this meaningless MAC affair will find us backing the defensive home dog that appears to be making strides under first-year HC Darrell Hazell.
In other words, we can’t lay points with a visiting team on a 4-14 SU run that arrives with the nation’s 80th-ranked defense and is playing its 10th straight game without rest. Take it or leave it.
Central Michigan are listed as 1½-point favorites against the Kent State, while the game's total is sitting at 43.
