#MACtion: Midweek Handle High For Wacky MAC Football

Please rewrite the original statement you provided for a more specific request.

When Western Michigan heads to Mount Pleasant on Wednesday night, it could potentially be a showdown between the top two college football teams in the state, Central Michigan being the host.

It is highly unlikely, though impossible to prove otherwise due to the absence of any non-conference action this year.

Despite Michigan and Michigan State’s struggles in their coronavirus-shortened seasons, two undefeated rivals will face off in an exciting Mid-American Conference showdown.

Given the historical #MACtion, fans should prepare for an exciting game. Sports betting enthusiasts are closely monitoring the conference’s events.

#MACtion has captured the hearts, minds of America

In order to capture a wider national TV audience on ESPN, the MAC made the strategic decision to shift many of its games to mid-week several years ago.

The conference has successfully delivered a series of unforgettable and entertaining moments filled with wackiness and action.

Western Michigan pulled off another stunning victory last week, as quarterback Kaleb Eleby executed a fake spike to secure a triumphant 41-38 win over Toledo.

No other midweek football to wager on

The MAC swiftly identified a market opportunity between Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football and seized it.

The world of sports betting has captured attention.

Frequently, the Barstool Sportsbook guys and various well-known gambling personalities promote the conference’s renowned hashtag, #MACtion.

It has become a trend, and the betting community has joined in.

BetRivers: Bettors are feeling the #MACtion

Since its season commenced two weeks ago, MAC football has consistently attracted a high volume of wagers at BetRivers Sportsbook.

Out of the six games played in the first week of MAC action, five would have ranked among the top 10 games on Saturday.

According to information obtained by Playinmichigan, a significant number of these games had handles that were similar to those of Big Ten and Pac-12 games.

Among the top 20 BetRivers college football handles last week, five out of the six MAC games were included.

Last week, the Buffalo vs Miami (Ohio) and Western Michigan vs Toledo games on ESPN narrowly missed being included in the top five BetRivers games.

MAC football has consistently been the most popular event of the night in terms of both handle and bet count, each time it has been played.

FanDuel Sportsbook: MAC football is hot

The heat of #MACtion is also being felt at FanDuel Sportsbook.

According to spokesperson Kevin Hennessy, Iowa and Minnesota dominated the college football weekend in terms of handle on Friday night. Michigan and Wisconsin followed suit on Saturday, but the MAC conference remained a close contender.

Outperforming Notre Dame and Boston College, who played on Saturday afternoon, Buffalo and Miami had the fifth-largest handle among all games that week.

Ball State hosting Eastern Michigan had the seventh-highest handle of the week, followed closely by Toledo and Western Michigan in eighth place.

From a national standpoint, these games may seem unremarkable, but their rankings are undeniably extraordinary.

Chippewas, Broncos are bitter rivals

The CMU Chippewas, hosting on Wednesday, will strive to secure a victory against their rival WMU, aiming to overcome their previous record of only one win in the past seven years.

On November 27th, Coach Jim McElwain and his Chippewas will also face the neighboring MAC team, Eastern Michigan, in Ypsilanti. The Eagles, unfortunately, have not secured a win and currently hold a 0-2 record.

Coach Tim Lester of Western is aiming to lead the Broncos to their sixth bowl game appearance in seven years.

McElwain’s Chippewas, similarly, find themselves behind in the all-time series with a record of 50-38-2.

The current odds are as of 9:45 a.m. EST on Wednesday, November 18th.
