Causes stampede at Vegas sports books. Heavy money comes in on EMU.
Seriously, the game will probably be 'pick em'. UT or EMU could be a 1-point favorite.
This isn't a walk in the park as many MAC fans think...
UT is benefiting from 'herd mentality.' I love to bet against the 'herd mentality' when I go to Vegas. Last Labor Day week I was in Vegas and bet Florida State @ 20:1 to win the NC, which means I had to bet against 'Bama and Oregon and a bunch of other very good teams.
I'd bet against Toledo to win the MAC tourney next month. (It could be any of say five teams). (I'll be out for the NCAA tourney - too late to bet the MAC tourney).
BTW: IF I were setting odds it might be: UT : 4 or 5:1, Akron, Ohio 6:1, UB, EMU 7:1, WMU 8:1, etc. That means that Toledo would have a 20% chance of winning the tourney and 80% of not (winning it). Basically the way probabilities work.
P.S. I passed on NIU to win the MACC, too, last September.
Toledo isn't the great MAC teams of Bonzi Wells, Earl Boykins, etc. They are, maybe, the best of a closely bunched group.
