First of all, I'm no Mac or Conf Usa expert, but...
I won a few plays with Toledo last year, this is a very solid squad at the very least. Lets take a look at some of the available numbers being offered for Toledo to win the MAC.
Bovada -150 (I know Bovada sucks).
BOL/ Sportsbetting.ag -140.
Those #'s seem about right to me which brings us to...
5dimes + 185. And it was +210 as recent as last week!
The MAC has a championship game, East vs West. To win the West Toledo avoids the conference's next best team which is Miami of Ohio and gets the Western division's next best team Western Mich at home with 9 days rest. Many believe WMich is a sinking ship this year with coaching changes, transferring players, a new qb and the loss of stud wr Corey Davis (5th overall draft pick). Toledo gets Nor Ill at home and their toughest games will be @ Ohio and @ Central Mich. I don't see any of those game spreads available yet but I feel very comfortable saying they will be favored in every conference game with the possible exception of @ Ohio which is a toss up at worst. So it seems very likely they at least make the title game and should be comfortably favored in that game as well. I'm all in and just added to my original +210 at the current price.
Another weird pricing...
Western Kentucky to win Conf USA.
Bovada -140
BOL/sb.ag -140
5dimes +182 !!!!!! really!
They also have an advantageous schedule getting the next two best teams at home ( LouTech and MTennSt). Their toughest conference road game will be be @ Old Dominion. Western Kentucky will be favored in every conference game which shows in their season win total of 9' -145 to the over. IMO this comes down to the division game vs Middle Tenn. to win the East. Although WK comes into that game having played 3 of 4 on the road that is still a better situation than MTenn which will be playing in their second road game in 7 days @ WK on 11/17.
If anyone else sees any Mac or Usa title odds please post it here as these were all I could find.
