Central Michigan vs Toledo Prediction
The Central Michigan Chippewas don't play defense, can't finish drives offensively, and Toledo is simply the better team on both sides of the ball. However, Toledo is 1-3 ATS as a double-digit favorite this season and has failed to cover 10 of its last 15 games as a double-digit favorite overall. Toledo has dominated this series, and the favorite has covered 8 of the last 10 meetings. I'm still not laying double-digit chalk, given the Rockets' struggles to cover these massive numbers. Give me Central Michigan and the points.
