In a special edition of the Bet the Board podcast, Brad Powers steps in for both Todd Fuhrman and Payne Insider, providing an in-depth analysis of several college football teams from the Mid-American Conference (MAC). Brad highlights Kent State's challenging schedule and the need for improvements on both sides of the ball, noting that significant roster changes present an uphill battle for the team. Akron's rebuilding phase continues with a focus on developing young talent, and their performance will hinge on how quickly new players adapt.

Buffalo's strong defense and effective running game are key points, but there are questions about their quarterback situation. Consistency is a concern for Eastern Michigan, yet their offensive line and special teams could give them an edge in close games. Ball State aims for a strong season with returning starters, and Brad emphasizes their experienced offense as a key strength. Central Michigan is seen as a dark horse with a balanced team and solid offensive and defensive units.

Western Michigan's dynamic offense, led by their quarterback, is expected to be a highlight, though defensive lapses could be their downfall. Ohio's depth and talent make them a formidable contender, praised for their balanced approach and strong coaching staff. Bowling Green is still in a rebuilding phase, with success dependent on overcoming depth issues. Northern Illinois, known for their physical play, will rely heavily on their running game and stout defense.

Toledo stands out as a top contender, with a potent offense and solid defensive lineup making them a favorite in the MAC. Miami of Ohio's experienced roster and disciplined defense position them as tough opponents with potential to compete for the conference title. Brad's best bet focuses on Toledo, given their overall balance and depth, making them a strong pick for the season. This episode offers a comprehensive look at the MAC teams, with Brad providing valuable insights and predictions for the upcoming season.
