Toledo vs Ohio Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with 5-2 conference records, but Ohio will be at home. The Bobcats have lost two of their last three games and they lost their leading scorer against Eastern Michigan two games ago. Ohio is shooting 47.3% from the field this year and they are scoring 80.3 points per game, but they were held to just 61 points in their last game. Toledo has alternated wins and losses over their last five games, but they have won both of their last two road games. The Rockets have had defensive issues to start the season, but Ohio has not been much better. These two teams are pretty even, but I think the loss of Clayton is huge. Take Toledo on the road here.
