The Return of the MAC is nearly here, as a conference beloved by gamblers and Rust Belt diehards alike gears up for a farewell season. Next year the NIU Huskies head to the Mountain West, departing a conference they've found success in for years. But today, Action Network college football betting experts Michael Calabrese, Joshua "Duck" Nunn and MAC obsessive Stuckey gather to break down every team in the MAC, from the mighty Toledo Rockets to the comically bad Kent State Golden Flashes. They talk depth charts, conference wins, season win totals, and give their picks for the MAC Championship Game in Detroit. And for those looking to celebrate college football in person, be sure to join us for a college football Week Zero watch party. Fun starts at 11am local time on August 23rd in Chicago at watering hole Joe's On Weed, where the entire BBOC family will be enjoying the entire slate.

Dropping the hyphen and going simply with "CUSA" this season, Conference USA is famously the runt of the college football conference litter. But that doesn't make it any less fun, nor does it make us adore it any less. For decades it has served as the springboard conference for plucky programs, and now it welcomes Missouri State and Delaware to a party already graced by UTEP's Miner Nation. And once again they'll play midweek conference games weeks before the MAC begins their annual MACtion slate, a new tradition gamblers have fully embraced. Today Action Network college football betting experts Joshua "Duck" Hodges and Michael Calabrese cover ever team from top to bottom, giving their opinions on win totals, conference title odds, the chances for a perfect season with Liberty, and so much more. 4 - LIBERTY13 - WESTERN KENTUCKY23 - UTEP31 - DELAWARE40 - FIU51 - MISSOURI STATE57 - JAX STATE64 - LA TECH71 - SHSU75 - MTSU81 - KENN STATE86 - NEW MEXICO STATE Hosted on Acast.
