The gunslinger returns from a season-ending injury in 2023. When healthy \u2013 he\u2019s struggled with injuries in his career \u2013 he\u2019s arguably the top quarterback in the MAC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The offensive line is one of the best in the conference as well, which should help the offense cruise. The tackles (Will Jados and Reid Holskey) are two of the best linemen in the league. There\u2019s ample talent at wide receiver, too. Slot receiver Javon Tracy (348 yards last year) is a matchup mismatch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensively, there\u2019s a ton of talent, including edge rusher Brian Ugwu (12 tackles for loss and eight sacks last fall). The RedHawks should be in the mix to win the league at the very least. They\u2019re built to repeat as MAC champions.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-b673653d gb-headline-text\"><strong>New Customer Offers at BetMGM<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-green-cyan-background-color has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.betmgm.com\/en\/mobileportal\/register?utm_source=herosports&amp;utm_medium=green_button&amp;utm_campaign=registration_page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>New Customers: Up to $1,500 in Bonus Bets<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-0cebdcd1 gb-headline-text\"><em>Bonus Bets Expire in 7 Days.

The RedHawks have been consistent under Martin, making bowl games in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year\u2019s 11-win season was phenomenal, and winning the MAC title despite dealing with injuries to Gabbert was an impressive feat. Martin and his program deserve loads of credit for 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This upcoming season, however, will be a major test. Winning 11 games is highly unlikely, given an opening three-game stretch of Northwestern, Cincinnati, and Notre Dame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winning the MAC, however, is a realistic goal. Road games with Toledo and Bowling Green could very well decide the conference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Gabbert stays healthy, it\u2019s hard to see the RedHawks falling out of MAC contention. If he gets hurt, the offense and defense still have enough talent to win the conference. Punter Alec Bevelhimer is a massive weapon for a program that often plays conservatively under Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6a896cfa alignwide\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-21cd4368\"><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/betmgm-promotions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"147\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-21cd4368\" src=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1\" alt=\"promo-page-banner\" title=\"PROMO-BANNER-2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-300x41.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-768x105.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-1024x139.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-750x102.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2024-miami-ohio-football-season-prediction\">2024 Miami (Ohio) Football Season Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If I\u2019m playing a Miami wager, I\u2019d lean toward taking the RedHawks to win the MAC. Reaching eight wins is going to be a challenge given the schedule, and if they do reach that mark, they\u2019re going to be firmly in contention to win the conference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the offense\u2019s potential, and the defense boasts impressive star power. Bringing back an All-MAC punter only increases my love for this team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the parity in the MAC, I\u2019m likely staying away from any bets on the preseason conference favorite. I understand the hype for the RedHawks, however, and Northwestern and Cincinnati will have their hands full with this Group of Five College Football Playoff sleeper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A MAC football team hasn\u2019t won consecutive conference titles since Northern Illinois in 2011 and 2012.
