Western Michigan vs Toledo Prediction
Western Michigan comes into this matchup undefeated in conference play, but two of their last three games have been very close calls. Toledo bounced back from their loss to Buffalo with a blowout of EMU last week and their QB is very talented. These two teams play two different styles, but I don’t love how WMU has looked over the last four games. Take Toledo to cover at home in this one.
