Bowling Green put a scare into Penn State last week, losing by a touchdown, and should not feel intimidated going from Happy Valley to The Land of the 12th Man. The Falcons' potent offense can keep pace with almost any opponent, while the A&M offense has been disrupted with an ongoing injury to QB Conner Weigman, who sat out last week and is iffy. Even if he starts, Bowling Green catches the Aggies at an opportune tome -- between SEC tests. This could be another feather in the MAC cap.
Let's not get carried away here: I would be SHOCKED if Texas A&M lost to Bowling Green. But the Falcons are a veteran squad who gave Penn State all they could handle two weeks ago. A&M is 5-7 in its last 12 games as a 20+ point favorite, while the Falcons are 5-1-1 in their last seven when the oddsmakers are giving them 20+ points. I think this game stays interesting for three quarters. Texas A&M 31, Bowling Green 16.
