(NCAAF) Miami-OH vs. Toledo,
Point Spread: -7.50 | -110.00 Toledo (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking the TOLEDO ROCKETS here. Uh. Yeah. This is a tough one. These guys just always find a way to not cover games. And that is not helpful when you are favored in 12 of your 13 games. Now - they are usually laying close to 20 vs bottom level MAC teams. I want to say that a good sign is them covering 4 of their last 5. They won the MAC Championship Game last year 17-7 vs Ohio. Haven't been repeat champs in over a decade (NIU). The fact this line opened as high as it did makes me like this even more though. Only time the Redhawks were dogs like this - they won! +14 vs Cincinnati 31-24.. +7.5 at Ohio - Winner 30-16. Their 2 blemishes on the year. Opening night at the Miami Hurricanes (We had Miami O there, loser +16) and a 21-17 road loss getting 3 from these Rockets. Down 21-3 at half, they scored 14 in the 3rd but that was it. And yet - a big line like this? Is it because Miami Ohio blocked a FG with a minute to go to knock off Ball State? More likely it is their QB situation. The defense is a good unit for Miami O. I might be looking towards an under here also, as Toledo will want to pound the ball with their good run attack. That should be enough to push the Rockets to a double digit victory this afternoon. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO
