The current betting odds have Miami-OH listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Miami-OH has looked good in their games this season with their 7-5 record overall and their 6-2 conference record which has them right near the top of the MAC. Meanwhile, Western Michigan has looked really good in their games this season with their 8-4 record overall and their 7-1 conference record which has them right at the top of the MAC. They were the only team in the MAC with a 7-1 conference record and secured their spot while Miami-OH earned this chance to play after tiebreakers, but Miami-OH has still been really good in the conference this season and will bring their best effort for this game. Western Michigan has looked a lot better lately with 4 wins in a row to end the regular season, but Miami-OH does have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row now. They are also off a 45-24 win over Ball State in their last one and they have a lot of experience playing in the MAC Championship over the last few seasons. Western Michigan is off a 31-21 win over Eastern Michigan in their last one, but they have had some slow starts lately and could get caught early in this game. Their only loss in the MAC this season was against Miami-OH too. Miami-OH has been here before in the last few seasons and they don't have the same pressure on them this year since they weren't the best team in the MAC all year. The best way to place a bet here is on Miami-OH to cover the spread in this game.

“If you told me Thomas Gotkowski would [start] in August, I’d say, ‘OK, that’d be interesting.’ If you told me Jordan Brunson and D’Shawntae Jones were going to be our 1-2 punch – which they’ve been awesome – I would’ve told you, ‘I don’t really see that happening, but interesting.’ Just the amount of guys that have stepped up has been amazing. It was nice to have a little bit of an easier victory.” - Chuck Martin after his team’s win against Ball State in their last game. 

"We have built a foundation and mentality of going 1-0. I've been saying this since training camp, our players are probably tired of me saying it." - Lance Taylor before his team’s win against EMU in their regular season finale.
