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.
