MAC Conference Games To Watch

I know I went heavy with the MAC West Division but I see a lot of the good football coming from that side. 

• Northern Illinois at Central Michigan: A litmus test for both teams, the Huskies lost 34-17 at home to Central Michigan but were able to bounce back with a conference title. A loss to CMU on the road could be much more devastating this fall with a tough schedule still left to play. 
• Central Michigan at Western Michigan: Anytime the directional programs of Michigan get together, it can be an exciting game. CMU and WMU should be no different as both teams feature quality offenses but the Broncos have an advantage in being able to rely upon a stud running back and two stud wide receivers. 
• Western Michigan at Eastern Michigan: This is one of the big measuring sticks for the improvement of the Eagles, a team some are picking as a surprise team this fall. EMU will have their hands full with the Broncos offense but have the ability to make this game closer than expected. 
• Northern Illinois at Toledo: One of the biggest games in the MAC every single year, this is the year that everyone expects to see Toledo finally get the upper hand. NIU will not give up the conference crown that easily and this could be a game to remember this fall. 
• Toledo at Central Michigan: CMU is a very good team at home and can put a scare into anyone with their strong defense. Toledo has a bulls-eye on their jerseys this fall and the Chippewas would love to be the team to take the Rockets down. 
• Bowling Green at Western Michigan: Expect a lot of points to be scored in this game with the Falcons featuring one of the most experienced offensive lines in the nation as well as the favorite to win the MAC East Division.
• Toledo at Bowling Green: The battle of the projected division winners with Toledo heading on the road to face the Falcons. This has a chance to be round one of two with the MAC title game being a postseason rematch. 
• Western Michigan at Northern Illinois: This is one of the the chances WMU has to prove they are ready to compete for a division crowd in heading to DeKalb to face the Huskies. Quarterback Drew Ware leads NIU and has an ability to run and throw the ball that very few quarterbacks possess. 
• Western Michigan at Toledo: This game is big for the fact that these teams finished two and three in the division in 2014 but could even bigger if a Toledo division title is on the line. Expect lots of offense with these two teams in a quality MACtion game. 
• UMass at Bowling Green: Many believe that with the high flying offense of the Minutemen, this is the year they can compete for a division title and bowl berth. Bowling Green is the projected division winner and are waiting for UMass on October 10 for a huge game.
