T.M. Selection: Middle Tennessee/Toledo OVER.

I am on the over in the Middle Tennessee vs Toledo game on Thursday. Toledo had a very strong finish to their year winning 3 games in a row and 4/5 to close out the regular season. They also looked really good on offense in those games and put up a ton of points. They put up 30+ points in 5 games in a row. A lot of those games were against very bad teams but even in their most recent game against a team with a winning record this year, their offense still stayed strong in that game putting up 49 points but it was their defense that was terrible and folded up like a cheap tent giving up 52 points. I think that Toledo is going to put up a lot of points in this game and continue their great offensive showing from their final games of the season. I also think that their defense is going to struggle here, especially since Middle Tennessee is not a team with a bad offense. Middle Tennessee didn't really end their year off on a great note but they have had flashes of great offense this year and have put up 30+ points in half of their games. They did score 27 points in their most recent game and also put up 20+ points in 5 of their previous 6 games, scoring 30+ points in half of those. Toledo has already shown this year that their defense is not that good and I am expecting them to give up a lot of points here and make it much easier for Middle Tennessee to move the ball here. I think this game has potential to turn into a shootout with 2 bad defenses and 2 above average offenses that have looked really good at times. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 35-27 Toledo.
