Ohio won their second in a row in their last game where they were on the road and beat Eastern Michigan 34-26. QB Kurtis Rourke is 137 of 201 passing for 1,481 yards with 10 touchdowns and four picks this season. He has 234 yards and three scores on the ground.
The Toledo Rockets are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. The Rockets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite. I like the Rockets to cover this spread, as it is just one touchdown against a much weaker team.
