Western Michigan and Miami (OH) Set for MAC Championship Rematch

DETROIT, MI – Western Michigan and Miami (Ohio) will clash for the MAC Championship this Saturday at Ford Field in Detroit, marking their second meeting of the season. Miami (OH) emerged victorious in their first encounter on October 25th, defeating the Broncos 26-17.

This game marks Miami’s third consecutive appearance in the MAC Championship, a feat not seen since Northern Illinois’ five-year streak from 2010-2015. The RedHawks have won four MAC Championship games, tied for the second-most in league history.

Western Michigan is looking for its fourth MAC title and first since 2016. They enter the game riding a four-game winning streak and boasting a MAC-best 7-1 conference record, tied for the second-most league wins in program history.

The RedHawks have navigated quarterback uncertainty since losing DeQuann Finn in November. After an unsuccessful outing by Henry Hesson, Thomas Gotkowski has stepped up, leading Miami (OH) to a recent victory and a strong performance in their final regular-season game.

The game will feature a clash of star pass rushers. Western Michigan’s Nadame Tucker leads the MAC with 12 sacks, while Miami (OH)’s Adam Trick boasts 63 pressures, tied for second-most among FBS defenders.

Western Michigan’s Broc Lowry is a dual-threat quarterback, accumulating over 1,500 passing yards and 875 rushing yards this season.

The game will be broadcast on ESPN at 12 p.m. ET and can be streamed on FuboTV.

CBS Sports Prediction: Western Michigan -1.5 (-118)
