Toledo vs Eastern Michigan Prediction
Toledo comes into this contest after an ugly loss to Buffalo last week and they will be on the road, but they are still a decent sized favorite here. Eastern Michigan has won three in a row and they have allowed 23 or fewer in all three games. The Eagles struggle with inconsistent play from Noah Kim, but they have found ways to win in recent weeks. This should be a very good game, but I will take the points with the Eagles on their home field.
