The Eastern Michigan Eagles and Toledo Rockets face off on Tuesday in a college basketball showdown at Savage Arena. 

The Eastern Michigan Eagles have played six games so far this year and they sit with a 3-3 record overall. After a bit of a slow start though, Eastern Michigan has won three of the last four games. The only loss was two games ago against Central Michigan. In the last game against Akron, Eastern Michigan was underdogs, but the defense locked down giving up only 59 points and that led to a 71-59 defeat. On the season, Eastern Michigan is averaging 68 points per game while their defense is giving 80 points per game. Eastern Michigan is shooting 42 percent from the field but only 27.2 percent from behind the three point line. Guard Bryce McBride has been the best player for Eastern Michigan putting up 14.5 points, 3.2 assists, and 2.7 steals per game. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Toledo Rockets who come into this game with a 10-3 record overall and coming into this game they have won seven games in a row. Each of the last six games, Toledo has also covered the spread. In the last game against Ohio, Toledo’s offense was elite putting up 95 points and that led to a victory. On the season, Toledo is averaging 77.1 points per game while their defense is giving up 68.5 points per game. Guard Marreon Johnson has been the best player for Toledo averaging 16.2 points while shooting 34.1 percent from the field and 35.5 percent from the field. 

Eastern Michigan is 1-7-1 against the spread in their last nine games against the MAC. Eastern Michigan is 2-7-1 against the spread in their last 10 games overall. The home team is 22-9 against the spread in their last 31 meetings played between the two teams. 

Toledo has had no issues winning games and covering the spreads and that is going to be the case again in this one. Toledo is going to run up the score, Eastern Michigan will have no answer, and Toledo will win this game and cover the spread.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
