Bowling Green vs. Toledo Prediction

I’m with Toledo here. I know the MAC is in flux this season as almost everyone coming into this week is either 4-3 or 3-4 overall and the race is as tight as one could be and maybe as we’ve ever seen. However, Bowling Green has played a lot of top teams tough, but still lost, and even though they’re close losses, we’re not being asked to lay much with Toledo here. As long as Toledo cuts down the turnovers, I think that Toledo can get the win here as I just feel that they’re the better team. Give me Toledo.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Toledo -2.5
