Toledo vs Western Michigan Prediction
The Western Michigan Broncos will have their chances at home, but I’m not betting on it. Western Michigan has issues defensively and even at home, we’ve seen the Broncos lose three times in front of their home fans. Toledo has simply had more success this season, and recent games against Houston and Purdue will only improve this squad. Toledo covered both games against those teams as well. Toledo also has two road wins. The Western Michigan Broncos haven’t won a game since November, so do what you will with that info. I’ll lay the bucket with Toledo on the road.
