What’s Going To Happen

The MAC West is already muddled, and it was made more so with Western Michigan’s thrilling win over Ohio on Tuesday night.

Northern Illinois is out of the MAC title chase with a loss, and it’s ensured of a losing season if it drops this. Win, and it has to get by Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan to hope for a swag bag trip.

Toledo has had a rocky year, but it beat Western Michigan and still has Central Michigan to deal with. It’s the Rockets’ last home game of the season,  and it’s going to be a balmy 25 degrees at game time.

Toledo’s running game has to own this game from the start.

The league’s best ground attack already has a 1,052-yard, ten-touchdown year out of Bryant Koback, helping to lead the way for an O that’s rushed for over 500 yards in the last two weeks. He’s banged up, but there are plenty of other options – Toledo is 6-0 when running for 190 yards or more, and 0-3 when rushing for fewer.

The Northern Illinois run defense isn’t all that bad, but the team is 0-4 when it gives up 190 yards or more.

It’s about to give up 190 yards or more.

The Huskie defensive front doesn’t get behind the line and doesn’t generate enough of a pass rush to be disruptive. NIU can move the ball, but it’s not consistent enough to come through late to pull this off on the road.

What’s Going To Happen

And now it’s all there for the taking for Miami.

Thanks to its win over Ohio last week, and with wins over Buffalo and Kent State, MU will be the 2019 MAC East champion with a win over a Bowling Green team that needs this to become bowl eligible.

And, by the way, as a cherry on top, the RedHawks can get to six wins and be bowl eligible with a win, too.

The Falcons were good enough to shock Toledo, and they won their free-space game last week against Akron, but they have to win out to get to six wins.

On a three-game winning streak, MU doesn’t do much of anything on offense, it doesn’t have a passing game, and it doesn’t do much to control the clock. So how is it winning? The defensive line lives behind the line and the secondary is great at locking down against mediocre offenses.

Bowling Green doesn’t do enough through the air to make MU worry, and the running game isn’t good enough to take over.

Miami was going to be cranked up before to win this game, and now that it has its goals available, it’ll play at another level – even if it’s not scintillating.

Bowling Green has been obliterated by a combined score of 215-17 in its four road games. Miami doesn’t have the offense to come up with a wipeout, but it’ll win easily.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s must-win time for an Ohio team that lost the game it couldn’t lose to Miami University last week. That put the Bobcats 1.5 games behind the RedHawks in the East, but it also means they had to do a lot more work to get bowl eligible.

They get relative layups at Bowling Green and Akron to close, but they’ll have to win them both to go bowling. They also want to try to win out to get a shot a the MAC title.

Western Michigan is bowl eligible, but it has to hold off Central Michigan, Ball State and Toledo in the West. The Broncos have won three of their last four, but they close out with this game and a trip to Northern Illinois. Win both of them, and they’re off to the MAC title game.

They’re great at keeping things moving offensively, and they have the pass rush and defensive front to give the Ohio ground game a slew of problems.

They also dominate the turnover margin, and Ohio doesn’t take the ball away. On the road, WMU has to be a +2.

However, the Bobcats are better at WMU on third downs, and the running game has kicked it in to other gear over the last few weeks. As good as the Bronco line is at getting into the backfield, it can be hammered. Ball State might have lost last week, but it ran for 261 yards and three scores.

Ohio will run for over 200 yards this week, and in the final home game of the season, it’ll pull off the win by controlling the game a bit more.
