Garbageman's AI Predictions

Hey Trashman I had to move your most to a new thread, as it's not a premium service pick.

Ive been toying around with A.I. and have developed a custom GPT that predicts college or NFL games, using a number of sites and data.  I asked it to predict tonights MAC games, here is what my AI tool said:  (this is for entertainment purposes only, tail at your own expense!)  but its pretty cool!

Here’s a detailed preview of the MAC college football games tonight:

1. Bowling Green Falcons (4-4) vs. Central Michigan Chippewas (3-5)

• Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. ET
• Location: Kelly/Shorts Stadium, Mount Pleasant, MI
• Broadcast: ESPN2
• Prediction: Bowling Green 34, Central Michigan 18​

Team Analysis:

• Bowling Green comes in as the favorite with a 13.5-point spread. The Falcons have shown consistent defensive strength, allowing just 22 points per game, compared to Central Michigan’s 32.3. This edge in defense may be crucial given the Chippewas’ struggles in stopping opposing offenses​
   

  .

• Central Michigan relies heavily on its ground game, with Marion Lukes leading the way at 58.1 rushing yards per game. They’ll face a Bowling Green defense that’s somewhat vulnerable against the run, allowing 4.7 yards per carry. However, Central Michigan’s passing game, led by Joey Labas, is up against one of the top passing defenses in the MAC, making it a challenging matchup through the air​

Key Factors:

• Bowling Green QB Connor Bazelak has been efficient, completing nearly 69% of his passes, with 10 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions. If he can exploit Central Michigan’s weak pass defense, it may create a solid scoring opportunity for Bowling Green.
• Turnover Battle: Bowling Green holds an advantage in turnovers, having forced more than Central Michigan. With the Chippewas ranking poorly in turnovers allowed, the Falcons’ defense could force mistakes and control the game tempo​

Prediction:

• Expect Bowling Green to cover the spread and for the total score to exceed 48.5 points, given the potential for Central Michigan’s defense to struggle with Bowling Green’s balanced attack​

2. Miami (OH) RedHawks (4-4) vs. Ball State Cardinals (3-5)

• Kickoff: 7 p.m. ET
• Location: Scheumann Stadium, Muncie, IN
• Broadcast: ESPN
• Prediction: Miami (OH) 30, Ball State 23​

Team Analysis:

• Miami (OH) brings a strong defensive profile, allowing just under 20 points per game. Their offense, though not high-scoring (22.8 points per game), is efficient, leaning on QB Brett Gabbert’s experience to lead their passing attack. Gabbert has 13 TDs but has struggled with some interception issues​
• Ball State has an offense that’s marginally more productive at 25.1 points per game, driven by QB Kadin Semonza’s 15 passing TDs. They’ll need to find ways to attack Miami’s secondary, which ranks highly in limiting big plays. Ball State’s defense, however, has been a weakness, allowing over 40 points per game, and this disparity could allow Miami’s offense to capitalize​

Key Factors:

• Gabbert’s Passing: Miami’s success could hinge on how well Gabbert handles Ball State’s inconsistent pass defense. He’ll target reliable playmakers like WR Reginald Virgil, who averages over 50 receiving yards per game.
• Ball State Ground Game: The Cardinals’ RB Braedon Sloan needs to generate yardage to balance their offense and keep Miami’s defense on its heels. If Ball State can establish a solid running game, they could keep this game close​

Prediction:

• While Ball State may cover the spread (+12.5), Miami should secure the win, and the score is likely to go over 47.5 due to Ball State’s high average points allowed​
   

These games should showcase classic MACtion with potential for high-scoring affairs, especially given defensive vulnerabilities on both sides. Enjoy the games!
