All 12 MAC teams will be playing on Tuesday and Wednesday nights throughout November because they realize that we are college football junkies! Six MAC teams were in action last night. We have the other six tonight. Let's do this!
All three games start at the same time tonight. We have Buffalo in Mount Pleasant to take on the Chippewas. Northern Illinois heads to Michigan as well to take on the Broncos. Kent heads over to Bowling Green to take on a suddenly dangerous Falcons team.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/9/22 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 11 (11/9)
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.
Northern Illinois at Western Michigan(-1.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
This line is all over the place. I've seen NIU favored and the Broncos as high as -3 on some sites. They should be. NIU is keeping the QB situation close to the vest, but at this point, I'm not sure it matters. Give me WMU.
Buffalo at Central Michigan(-1.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
This line opened at -3 for Buffalo, but this feels like an overcorrection on the part of the bettors. However, the dual quarterback system is working so far for Central and Lew Nichols should be close to full strength. You know I've whiffed on the Bulls six times in eight tries. I'll take Central at home.
Kent State(-2.5) at Bowling Green
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
The Falcons are rolling right now. I tend to believe that Kent is the better team, but the BGSU run defense has been really solid over the last month or so. I think I still like the Falcons outright at home.
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Cole Snyder, Buffalo ($7,500)
Snyder has a couple of big games this year, but ball security has been his issue recently. Five turnovers over the last three games have left a sour taste on those eight touchdowns. The good news is that Central Michigan has only picked off three passes all season and only one since September 17th. This is the time to get back on the horse with Snyder.
Jase Bauer, Central Michigan ($7,100)
The Chippewas are content using both quarterbacks because for now, it's working. Bauer only threw four passes last week, but he ran for 109 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The rushing upside makes Bauer a strong play regardless of how many passes he throws. I don't see a smash pay-up option on this slate, so I'll roll the dice on Bauer's rushing ability.
Also consider: Matt McDonald, Bowling Green ($8,000); Treyson Bourguet, Western Michigan ($6,600)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Marquez Cooper, Kent State ($7,100)
Cooper has 743 rushing yards and five touchdowns in five MAC games, and that's including a horrible game against the Redhawks in which he only managed 32 yards. Bowling Green's run defense has been better lately, but not enough to move me off of Cooper at this price.
Taron Keith, Bowling Green ($5,200)
I hate split backfields, but I do like the bargains that they sometimes produce. Jaison Patterson and Keith had the same number of carries last week, but Keith got some work in the passing game and Patterson lost a fumble. That tells me to pay a little extra for Keith.
Also consider: Lew Nichols III, Central Michigan ($6,900); Harrison Waylee, Northern Illinois ($6,800); Jaison Patterson, Bowling Green ($4,600)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Corey Crooms, Western Michigan ($7,400)
Bourguet showed some good passing chops last week which led to a monster from Crooms. He had a season-best 151 yards and has now scored four of his five touchdowns on the season in the last five games. I'm rolling with Crooms again. His ceiling appears to be even higher with Bourguet calling the shots.
Justin Marshall, Buffalo ($5,300)
Quian Williams is still the more dangerous Buffalo receiver, but Marshall is catching more passes, racking up more yardage, and scoring more touchdowns. Who really cares what the reason is, I just follow the trends. Williams is still the GPP guy. Marshall is worth using in all formats.
Odieu Hiliare, Bowling Green ($5,100)
The inconsistency of Matt McDonald puts a bit of a damper on all pieces of the Bowling Green passing game, but Hiliare has a huge ceiling. And he has a huge floor. Hiliare hauled in nine passes last week even though the Bowling Green passing game largely struggled again. Hiliare is the only piece of that passing game that I really trust right now.
Also consider: Cole Tucker, Northern Illinois ($7,100); Jehlani Galloway, Western Michigan ($6,000); Quian Williams, Buffalo ($5,800); Ja'Shaun Polk, Kent State ($4,900)
