The Falcons are one of six road favorites in the MAC this week.
Bowling Green is favored by 18 over UMass this Saturday.
It's Friday, and you know what that means. Time to take a look at the MAC from Vegas's perspective:
• Bowling Green (-18) at UMass
•Northern Illinois (-16.5) at Akron
• Army (-2) at Eastern Michigan
• Pittsburgh (-9) at Buffalo
• Ball State (-3) at Central Michigan
• Western Michigan at Kent State (-3.5)

Road favorites are 5-1 over the past two weeks in the MAC, and we have an astonishing six of them this week... There's been plenty of action on Bowling Green (opened at -16) and Northern Illinois (opened at -13.5)... UMass is 2-4 against the spread in 2012 while Bowling Green is 3-3... Kent State has been the best bet in the league this year at 5-1 ATS, while Northern Illinois is 5-1-1, and Toledo and Ball State are both 5-2.
