It's the return of the MAC! We have some midweek MACtion for you from now until the end of the season. Eastern Michigan still played last weekend to screw over my bets again, but eight teams took Saturday off from MAC play so they can give us some DFS during the week. Thank you, MAC!
The earlier kick sees Kent State hosting Ball State. The nightcap has the Bulls of Buffalo taking on an Ohio team that can't decide if they want to play defense or not.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/1/22 locking at 7:00 pm Eastern time. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions for players at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver, aiming to highlight one option at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

CFB Betting Picks for Week 10 (11/1)
I haven't had time to watch all of the games from last weekend yet, so I haven't tallied the results. For the MAC slates, I will provide all of the picks against the spread along with the DFS picks.
Ball State at Kent State(-6.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
This line has doubled since it opened and is only below 7 at one spot now. That must mean that Collin Schlee is expected to play. He was warming up before the Akron game in Week 8, so this shouldn't be much of a surprise. Kent hasn't looked great since their brutal non-conference schedule. Ball State is addicted to one-score games. The last team to cover them by this was Georgia Southern in Week 4. I will take Kent though. They can run the ball well enough to give the Cardinals fits like Georgia Southern did.
Buffalo(-2.5) at Ohio
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
For all of the heat that Ohio's defense is taking, Buffalo's hasn't been much better. Since being torched by Akron (yardage wise, they still didn't give up many points), the Bobcats have tightened it up a little. I like Ohio outright at home.
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Collin Schlee, Kent State ($7,800)
Schlee has 160 rushing yards and 866 passing yards in three MAC games this year. His numbers are skewed because of the gauntlet the Flashes ran in their out-of-conference schedule. His numbers have been much better in the MAC. As long as Schlee is in, I like him enough to pay up for him.
Kurtis Rourke, Ohio ($7,100)
Rourke has the highest ceiling on the slate. He puts up solid rushing numbers and has run for four touchdowns on the ground this year. He has also had a 500-yard passing game and a 400-yard passing game. No one else on this slate can say that. This should be a competitive game, which paves the way for another good game for Rourke.
Also consider: Cole Snyder, Buffalo ($7,400); John Paddock, Ball State ($6,800)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Carson Steele, Ball State ($6,400)
Kent has allowed more than 100 rushing yards in every game this season, including the game against FCS Long Island. Only Tennessee and Northern Illinois have held Steele to double digits. Kent won't be able to do so here. Steele has six rushing touchdowns over the last four games, but two of those were scoreless games for him. He's kind of a boom-or-bust pick, but he should have a greater chance at a boom against Kent.
Marquez Cooper, Kent State ($4,900)
Cooper is way too cheap. I know the Ball State defense is by far the best of the four on the slate, but this still seems nuts. Cooper has 303 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns over the last two games and still ran for 90 on Georgia. You know...the team ranked number 1 in the country. His floor is plenty safe enough for the price and he still has good upside.
Also consider: Ron Cook, Buffalo ($6,600); Sieh Bangura, Ohio ($6,200)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Dante Cephas, Kent State ($6,200)
Cephas had a pedestrian game against Ohio, but that was without Schlee in the lineup. With Schlee as his quarterback, Cephas 422 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns in MAC play. Cephas should get back on track here against Ball State. If for some reason Schlee doesn't play, I'm not using Cephas. I'll flip to Devontez Walker instead. Cooper then becomes a must-play, even with Ball State's strong run defense.
Sam Wiglusz, Ohio ($5,900)
Wiglusz has five touchdowns over the last four games and has topped 100 yards in three of those. Ohio's defense has tightened up of late which has led to a few less opportunities for the offense. It hasn't mattered much. Wiglusz still has been very productive as Rourke's favorite target.
Jayshon Jackson, Ball State ($5,500)
Jackson has hauled in 36 passes in the last five games. The issue is that he's not finding the end zone. He has only scored two touchdowns on the season, but he does pack on the yardage. I like the floor of Jackson, but the Buffalo receivers are going to have more upside for GPP usage.
Also consider: Quian Williams, Buffalo ($5,600); Devontez Walker, Kent State ($5,300); Yo'Heinz Tyler, Ball State ($5,100); Jacoby Jones, Ohio ($4,100)
