Toledo vs Eastern Michigan Prediction

Eastern Michigan is coming off of a very disappointing loss to a bad Akron team last week, but they will look to bounce back at home here. The Eagles have a pretty decent passing attack, but their defense leaves a lot to be desired. Toledo has also lost two of their last three games and they have been very inconsistent through eight games this season. I think this Toledo offense will have a huge day in this matchup, but I also think Eastern will continue to find success through the air. Take the over here.
