Toledo Rockets vs. Washington State Cougars Prediction

I’m on the Rockets and the points here. I just don’t see anything to where I want to back Washington State here as I think Gleason is the better quarterback and Toledo is stil one of the signature MAC programs that’s fully capable of beating a lot of teams on any given day. Washington State’s been gettable for much of the year, and I think Toledo is live in this game. Give me the Rockets and the points here.
