Do you feel that? The chill in the air means football nearly every day of the week once we hit November. November is here and so is MACtion! The entire conference will play on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, giving us two bonus three-game slates! Due to the small slates that we have leading up to the weekend, I'm going to do my spreads picks and DFS picks in the same article. You know, to be more efficient.
We begin tonight with Toledo heading to Bowling Green in the Impossible Bowl......as in it's impossible to pick just which version of these teams will show up. Northern Illinois welcomes in the struggling Lettermans who barely escaped Akron last week. We finish up an hour later in Mount Pleasant with Kent coming to town. This is going to be another fun night of MACtion!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/10/21 locking at 7 pm eastern. I’ll be providing multiple player suggestions for players at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option apiece at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

CFB Betting Picks 11/10 and 11/11:
Toledo(-10.5) at Bowling Green
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
Well, this is interesting. this line is up 3.5 points already and is showing no signs of slowing down. I have a hard time believing that Toledo can play two strong games in a row. They may win, but it wont be by double digits on the road. Give me the Falcons.
Ball State(-2.5) at Northern Illinois
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
In DeKalb? Nope. NIU straight up!
Kent State at Central Michigan(-2.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
I don't really trust either team, but Kent has looked the part lately. Still, Lew Nichols III is proving time and again that he's the best back in the MAC. Give me CMU at home.
North Carolina at (25)Pittsburgh(-6.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
Pitt wont give this away like the Wake defense did. This is going to be another monster for Kenny Pickett and another win for Pitt.
DraftKings CFB DFS Quarterbacks
Dequan Finn, Toledo ($7,700)
So you thought Finn was just a runner, huh? He threw for 461 and three touchdowns on Eastern Michigan last week just to silence all the haters. Even if his legs are just a decoy, Finn is even more dangerous if the can throw like that. Bowling Green's defense isn't much if any better than the Eagles. The upside for Finn is through the roof again.
Rocky Lombardi, Northern Illinois ($6,800)
Lombardi missed the end of the Kent game last week after leaving with a concussion after he threw for 532 yards. That's two huge games in a row for Lombardi facing a struggling Ball State team. If Lombardi is able to go, he's a lock at this price. If not, the Huskies could be in trouble and we may have to scramble for replacements make sure you have a plan B at the ready if Lombardi is in your builds.
Also consider: Dustin Crum, Kent State ($7,900); Matt McDonald, Bowling Green ($5,100)

DraftKings CFB DFS Running Backs
Lew Nichols III, Central Michigan ($7,900)
Nichols has 675 rushing yards and six touchdowns over the last four games. He hasn't had under 31 DraftKings points in any of those games. Nichols is too cheap for what he can do here. Lock him in and move on. Don't overthink this.
Terion Stewart, Bowling Green ($5,500)
Stewart ran for 170 yards last week on just 11 carries! Toledo isn't going to fold defensively like the Bulls did, but if McDonald and the Falcons can keep this close, there is upside for Stewart. Toledo is giving up points almost as fast as they can score them. Even if Stewart can't hit triple digits here, he should find the end zone at least once.
Jay Ducker, Northern Illinois ($4,900)
There is still no word on Harrison Waylee (shocker!), but there's no guarantee that he'll get his job back even if he is ready to play. Ducker has 494 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns in the three games that Waylee has missed. We saw Ball State get gouged by Akron last week on the ground and in the air. Once again, Ducker is free space this week.
Also consider: Bryant Koback, Toledo ($7,600); Carson Steele, Ball State ($6,000); Marquez Cooper, Kent State ($5,400); Clint Ratkovich, Northern Illinois ($3,800)
DraftKings CFB DFS Wide Receivers
Justin Hall, Ball State ($7,900)
Defenses have started to really crack down on Justin Hall. He hasn't had a 100-yard game since the opener. Ball State's answer is to use him as a running back. That new wrinkle has yielded four rushing touchdowns in the last four games. The volume is still there for Hall as a receiver, but teams have been forcing someone else to beat them. Hall still has a nice floor, but the ceiling game is fleeting right now with the way defenses are handling him right now.
Trayvon Rudolph, Northern Illinois ($7,000)
I'm going to move off Rudolph if Lombardi can't go. If Lombardi is in there, lock in Rudolph. He racked up 309 receiving yards on 14 receptions last week. He has scored six touchdowns in the last three games. If the core of the NIU passing attack is playing (and Tyrice Richie is still out), Rudolph should be in every one of your builds. No one has the ceiling that he does with Lombardi back there.
Kalil Pimpleton, Central Michigan ($6,400)
You know that huge game that Trayvon Rudolph had last week? It was against Kent. Who does CMU play this week? Bingo! CMU has a few more options aside from Pimpleton, but Pimpleton is the go-to guy. He has at least 20 DraftKings points in four straight games. This is a lead pipe cinch for five.
Matt Landers, Toledo ($5,300)
There is risk here considering that Landers only had two catches on the season before last week's explosion for 150 yards and two touchdowns. It is worth noting that Dequan Finn had by far his best passing game of the season last week and he is now the unquestioned starter. Finn was looking to Landers often. He's priced right to see if it happens again for another game.
Also consider: Dante Cephas, Kent State ($7,100); Yo'Heinz Tyler, Ball State ($5,500); Nykiem Johnson, Kent State ($5,100); Austin Osborne, Bowling Green ($4,000)
