Miami Ohio Redhawks vs. Toledo Rockets Prediction
I’m on the Redhawks here. I think the Rockets are still a decent team on paper, but this Rockets team has played the dregs of the MAC to this point and admittedly, the Redhawks are overachieving by a fair margin as far as I’m concerned. That being said, until we have a real reason to hop off of Miami Ohio, I don’t really want to. I think the Redhawks snag another one here so give me the Redhawks in this one.
