College Football Betting Trends
Toledo
Toledo is 4-1-1 with the over in its last 6 Thursday games, but 8-3 with the under in their last 11 games following a loss.
Western Michigan
Western Michigan is 12-4 with the over in its last 16 home games and 8-1 with the over in its last nine following a win of more than 20 points.
Prediction:
This game has the potential for plenty of fireworks but 68 points is a lot to hit. These two have only reached that mark once in their last six meetings. It will be a short week for both, so it could lead to some sloppy play on offense. While the Rockets are great defensively, Western has a reasonable pass defense that could make it tough on Toledo, which hasn’t settled in on a QB. I expect plenty of points, but a lot needs to go right for both teams for 68 points to be scored.
College Football Prediction: Toledo/Western Michigan Under 68
