A couple of byes last week have all of the MAC on the same page this week. All 12 teams in the MAC are in action today and tomorrow. This is MACtion at its finest, so we'll enjoy our few weeks of bliss. Last week was a bit nuts in the MAC. That's why we look forward to this!
All three games start at the same time, so we have a nice and fast DFS tournament. I love these! You know exactly where you stand! We start in Buffalo with Ball State in town. Western Michigan heads to Bowling Green to take on one of the few NFL talents in the MAC. Our last offering is in Toledo with Central Michigan in town.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/12/24, locking at 7 p.m. Eastern. 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.

College Football Betting Picks - November 12
Since we have DFS slates this week and not just single-game showdowns, I'll go ahead and add the betting picks here instead of posting them on X. It's one-stop shopping again this week!
Ball State at Buffalo (-4.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 1
I don't trust Buffalo and I'm damn sure not betting on them. Give me Ball State. I hate taking the chicken exit on the first bet of the week, but Buffalo has lost me a lot of money this year.
Western Michigan at Bowling Green (-8.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
The Falcons are a very good offensive team, but the defense leaves a lot to be desired. Western Michigan loves to run the ball and control the clock. I expect Bowling Green to win, but not by more than one score. Give me the Broncos.
Central Michigan at Toledo (-14.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
This is too many. The last team that Toledo beat by more than 10 points was Mississippi State (in the game before they went with Michael Van Buren Jr.) back in Week 3. Give me the Chips.
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
CJ Ogbonna, Buffalo ($7.3K)
Ogbonna has put together some good games against MAC opponents. Even against Ohio, Ogbonna put up a solid score (12.08 DraftKings points). Both of his turnovers in MAC play came against Ohio. The other three games have been clean and over 23 DraftKings points.
Ball State has allowed 291.9 passing yards and three passing touchdowns per game this season. Ogbonna put up over 300 yards against Western Michigan in a closely contested game. Ball State should keep this close, raising the ceiling on Ogbonna.
Jadyn Glasser, Central Michigan ($5.5K)
Congrats on your first career touchdown, @GlasserJadyn! ?⬆️@CMU_Football | #MACtionpic.twitter.com/AImoIN8FbU

The fourth time might be the charm for the Chippewas. Joe Labas and Bert Emmanuel Jr. are still out for Central and Tyler Jefferson only completed one of his seven pass attempts before Glasser came in. Glasser completed 5-of-7 passes and put in a touchdown on the ground.
Toledo's defense has holes that Glasser may be able to find. That makes him a solid bargain at this price. He's also a risk because he's a true freshman fourth-stringer. He's a GPP-only play.
Also consider: Tucker Gleason, Toledo ($8.3K); Kadin Semonza, Ball State ($6.5K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Terion Stewart, Bowling Green ($7.3K)
???? & ?????: @StewartTerion is No. 4 in the nation with 6.8 broken tackles per game.
His career average of 6.0 yards per rush is also No. 8 in the nation among active players with at least 2,000 career rushing yards.#ToTheMoon ?? pic.twitter.com/LivxiQS4G0
— BGSU Football (@BG_Football) November 1, 2024
Bowling Green struggled against Central Michigan more than expected, but Stewart didn't. He still turned in 117 rushing yards and got his customary 20 touches. This might be an even better matchup for Stewart. Western Michigan is allowing 182.22 rushing yards and 2.3 touchdowns per game.
Al-Jay Henderson, Buffalo ($5.9K)
Keyon Mozee had a nice game against the Ball State run defense last week. Henderson should do even better. The Buffalo offense revolves around the run game, both from Henderson and Ogbanna. Henderson will see plenty of carries and is active in the passing game. He's too cheap here.
Also consider Jaden Nixon, Western Michigan ($7.7K); Braedon Sloan, Ball State ($6.4K)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Harold Fannin Jr., Bowling Green ($8K)
Harold Fannin being 1 of 3 receivers with 1000+ yards as a TE is nuts
The 2nd best TE is Tyler Warren at 681 yards
Brock Bowers best season was 942 yards at Georgia
I know it's Bowling Green but come on pic.twitter.com/4g9jMLlPOL
— Ron Stewart (@RonStewart_) November 11, 2024
Few receivers are targeted more than Fannin, and none are on this slate. Fannin's low mark on the season was 12.5 DraftKings points against Northern Illinois. The floor is solid. The ceiling is high. That's exactly what I want in someone in this price range.
Tanner Koziol, Ball State ($6.6K)
It's Night of the Living Tight Ends on Tuesday night MACtion. If it weren't for how utterly dominant Fannin is, Koziol would be a top five tight end in college and the best in the MAC. Miami slowed Koziol last week, but he still put up solid numbers. He'll be more than solid against Buffalo.
Justin Bowick, Ball State ($4.6K)
Bowick missed the first couple of months of the season with an abdominal injury. He was solid in his first two games, but last week Bowick took MACtion by storm. He hauled in eight passes for 171 yards and a touchdown against the Redhawks. Miami is a solid defense, and Buffalo is nowhere near that. It could be another huge night for Bowick.
Also consider: Jerjuan Newton, Toledo ($7K); Kenneth Womack, Western Michigan ($5.7K); Victor Snow, Buffalo ($5K)
DraftKings CFB Stacks
Bowling Green
Western Michigan has a solid defense, but I still like a Falcons stack of Connor Bazelak, Stewart, and Fannin. Malcolm Johnson is a nice addition, but I wouldn't reach for a four-man stack unless you're hamstrung by salaries.
Ball State
I feel like most will be on Buffalo, but you can still put Henderson and Ogbanna out there and run it back with a Ball State stack of Semonza, Sloan, Koziol, and Bowick. Make sure you get all four in there. I feel most will stop at three.
Also consider: Western Michigan, Toledo
