One win, ten losses.
Bowl games have not been kind to the MAC in the past two postseasons, but perhaps 2018 is a brighter year. MAC teams open as favorites in five of six bowl games, although not a single one of these lines is greater than five points. The one MAC underdog is 14-point underdog Western Michigan, which will travel northwest to battle BYU in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
MAC champion Northern Illinois, runner-up Buffalo, Toledo, Eastern Michigan, and Ohio all open up as slim favorites over fellow Group of Five opponents. Several potential wins are on the table, so here are the MAC bowls from hardest-to-win to the lowest hanging fruit.
