Middle Tennessee State Playing Well
Not many times can you say that a 6-6 team is playing well but Middle Tennessee State won their last three games just to make it to a bowl game.

Last year it was Dasher setting a bowl record with 201 rushing yards. If Middle Tennessee State can avoid turning the ball over they will likely win this game against the college football betting lines. The Blue Raiders tied for most turnovers in the nation with 33.
MAC Champs
Miami of Ohio won the MAC title this season just a year after they went 1-11. It was a great turnaround under head coach Michael Haywood but he will not be back as he was hired at Pittsburgh. He got into trouble this past week though and was then fired by the Panthers. He did do a nice job with Miami though as the team won their last five games. Defensive backs coach Lance Guidry will serve as interim coach for the bowl game and next season it will be Don Treadwell taking over. He has been Michigan State’s offensive coordinator the last four years. Miami has been winning with quarterback Austin Boucher who threw for a career-high 333 yards in the MAC title game. They also have running back Thomas Merriweather who has run for an average of 111.4 yards and six touchdowns in the last five games.
