MAC Football Week 1: Top Betting Picks and Predictions
Week 1 MAC football features several non-conference matchups where most MAC teams are underdogs. Here are the top betting recommendations:
Cincinnati (-22.5) vs Miami (OH) / OVER 51 Points
- Cincinnati looks poised for a dominant performance behind QB Desmond Ridder
- 22.5 point spread appears too small given Cincinnati's offensive firepower
- Expect the Bearcats to make an early season statement
- Recommended bets: Cincinnati -22.5 and OVER 51 points
Ohio (+1.5) vs Syracuse
- Ohio projects as a MAC title contender this season
- Syracuse struggled last year and isn't expected to improve significantly
- Ohio's high-scoring offense should cause problems for Syracuse's defense
- Recommended bet: Ohio +1.5
Texas A&M (-28.5) vs Kent State
- While Kent State should finish mid-pack in the MAC, this is a tough opener
- Texas A&M projects as one of the nation's top teams
- 28.5 point spread is justified given the talent disparity
- Recommended bet: Texas A&M -28.5
Key Takeaway: While MAC teams face challenging non-conference matchups in Week 1, Ohio (+1.5) presents the best upset opportunity against Syracuse.
