2022 MAC Football TV/Streaming Primer: Saturday, Oct. 8

It’s the second week of October, and the air has crisped up the autumn leaves, leaving perfect football weather all over the Rust Belt.

Luckily for all of us, there’s six games on the docket, all of which are conference matchups with some already pretty intriguing stakes attached, as some teams have already played two MAC games, while most have played one.

All six of the games are inter-division, which should help offer a little bit of clarity— or muddy the waters— in the division races.

We’ll have to cherish the weekend games while we have them, as November weeknight #MACtion will be before we know it!

Here’s the full slate of times, channels and odds below:
