Youngstown State vs Toledo Prediction 

Toledo comes into this matchup looking for their third straight win and they have scored 90 and 81 points in their last two games. The Rockets are shooting 49% from the field, but they have allowed 76+ points in three of their first four games. Youngstown State is shooting 46% from the field, but they have allowed at least 80 points in two of their last three games. I don’t trust either team on the defensive end of the court right now, but I do think Toledo is the slightly better offensive and rebounding team. Take the Rockets here.
