MAC Championship Odds, Betting & Picks

The MAC is back and five different teams have won the title in the last six years. Central Michigan hasn't seen the championship game since losing to Miami in 2019. The Chippewas are opening as your favorites to win this year's title. Toledo, Miami, Northern Illinois and Miami round out the top four teams.

Central Michigan is the +350 favorite to win the 2022 MAC football championship.

Central Michigan finished last season with a 9-4 overall record and 6-2 conference record. The Chippewas are favored to win the Mid-American Conference. Central Michigan's returning players are returning well, including Lew Nichols, who was college football's leading rusher last year. They also have a returning quarterback, Daniel Richardson, and defensive leader Gage Kreski, but they lost the defensive player, Donte Kent.

Northern Illinois is the defending MAC champions. They finished 9-5 overall and 6-2 within the conference last season. Rocky Lombardi, Harrison Waylee and Trayvon Rudolph are the main offensive players. Head coach Thomas Hammock is looking to continue building success with the team he created. The team won the MAC championship last year. The early championship odds favor Northern Illinois.

At college football sportsbooks, futures odds are Central Michigan Chippewas +350 and Northern Illinois Huskies +600. If you bet $100 on Central Miamian Chipperws and you win $450, you get $350, if you back Northern Illinians, $600, and if they win back-to-back conference championships, the same $1000 is returned.
