Why the Toledo Rockets will win

  • Toledo has won each of its last eight games against non-AP-ranked teams at Glass Bowl.
  • Miami (OH) has lost three of its last four games against non-AP-ranked teams.
  • Toledo has covered the spread in seven of its last eight home games in October.
  • Miami (OH) has failed to cover the spread in three of its last four games.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of Miami (OH)’s last eight games against non-AP-ranked teams has gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Five of Toledo’s last six games at Glass Bowl have gone OVER the total points line.

Matchup/League Facts

Miami-OH vs Toledo Prediction

The Miami (OH) RedHawks are dreadful offensively, which includes being 118th in total offense and 133rd in scoring offense. Miami (OH) is also 1-3 ATS on the year, and I doubt any of this improves on the road. If the Toledo Rockets and their top-25 scoring offense get rolling at any point in this game, the RedHawks are going to be in trouble. There’s a decent talent gap between these squads. Laying just under a full touchdown. Give me Toledo. 

Randy Chambers's Pick: Toledo -6.5
