It's the return of the MAC! We have some midweek MACtion for you from now until the end of the season. Only ten of the 12 MAC teams play during the week this week. Buffalo just had to be different this week.
Both games start at the same time tonight, which means a nice four-hour tilt fest. We have a couple of good ones on here. Bowling Green heads to the Glass Bowl to take on the Rockets. We also have Ohio in the land of David Letterman to take on Ball State. This is going to be fun!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/15/22 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 12 (11/15)
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.
Bowling Green at Toledo(-15.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
The Falcons just got blasted by Kent, but this still feels a little high. This Toledo offense isn't quite as explosive since they don't have a running game that can complement the passing game. I tend to believe that Bowling Green is better than they looked last week. Toledo still wins, but this feels high.
Ohio(-3.5) at Ball State
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
Ohio's defense has stepped up and that offense is still dangerous. Give me Ohio again. I will keep riding the Bobcats as long as the lines are this low.
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Kurtis Rourke, Ohio ($8,200)
This is a steep price for Rourke, but he has put up some strong numbers in MAC play. Rourke has 10 touchdowns passing and one more on the ground over the last three games while only throwing one interception. He is controlling the ball and has 679 passing yards in the last two games. Ball State is going to put up a fight and keep this game close, which only feeds into Rourke's ceiling.
Dequan Finn, Toledo ($7,600)
Finn can do so many things to get us some points. He has yet to put together a good rushing and passing game at the same time, but logic dictates that if and when he does, it will be against a team like Bowling Green. The floor on Finn has me using him everywhere. He threw four interceptions against Buffalo back in Week 8, but still put up 28.1 DraftKings points thanks to his work on the ground. He is a strong play in all formats.
Also consider: Matt McDonald, Bowling Green ($7,300); John Paddock, Ball State ($6,500)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Carson Steele, Ball State ($8,200)
Steele has been out of his mind lately. He has five consecutive games over 100 rushing yards and four consecutive games over 28 DraftKings points. His career-high 192 rushing yards against Kent in Week 10 lasted exactly one week. He put up 198 against Toledo last week while tying a season-high with three rushing touchdowns. Ohio's defense has been solid lately, but solid may not be enough to stop Steele.
Jaison Patterson, Bowling Green ($4,400)
Last week wasn't a positive game script for the Falcons, but Patterson still got a solid workload. He even caught a couple of passes, something that had been almost exclusively reserved for Keith. If the Falcons can keep it closer this week, we should see Patterson flirt with 100 yards. If not, he's still a lock for 50, which is nice production for this price.
Also consider: Sieh Bangura, Ohio ($6,900); Taron Keith, Bowling Green ($5,100); Peny Boone, Toledo ($3,500)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Miles Cross, Ohio ($5,600)
The Redhawks locked up Wiglusz, so Rourke went and found cross instead. Cross hauled in six passes for 133 yards and had a couple of carries out of the backfield last week. This is a great matchup for the Ohio passing game. Wiglusz is probably still going to be the favorite target, but Cross is a great GPP pivot just in case Ball State tries to take Wiglusz out of the game.
Odieu Hiliare, Bowling Green ($5,400)
Hiliare has 17 receptions over the last two games, but he only has 75 yards on those 17 receptions. You know what? I don't care. That's a floor of nine points on DraftKings. Anyone seeing this kind of volume is worth a look in PPR formats such as DraftKings. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 5, but all of this volume is going to lead to one soon. He's a lock in cash games at this price with this kind of target share.
Jerjuan Newton, Toledo ($4,500)
Newton has six touchdowns in the last five games, putting up double-digit DraftKings points in each of those. He's not the target hog on this Toledo team, but he has at least five receptions in four of those five games. He has a nice floor and good upside considering all of the red zone looks that he's getting.
Also consider: Sam Wiglusz, Ohio ($6,800); Jayshon Jackson, Ball State ($6,400); Jacoby Jones, Ohio ($5,300); Tyrone Broden, Bowling Green ($5,100); Devin Maddox, Toledo ($4,600)
