Rockets Survive Look-Ahead Spot
Don’t take too much from Toledo’s 13-6 win against the 1-6 Ball State Cardinals. The field conditions were less than stellar as the two teams battled the elements for most of the night. With the Rockets one week away from the biggest game of their season, they weren’t going to put too much on film for this week’s game. Professional bettors know that it’s best to erase the entire memory.
Despite the win, Toledo failed to cover a game for the fifth straight time, according to last week’s NCAA Football scores and odds sheet after starting the season 2-0 ATS. It was also the fifth straight time they won straight-up, The impression is that Toledo is winning but hasn’t been impressive since waxing Texas Southern (71-3) in week two as a 40-point favorite.
Head Coach Jason Candle has the nation’s fourth-best running game with 245.1 yards per game. RB Penny Boone has run for 792 yards, leading to his eight touchdowns. Toledo has four players that have rushed for at least 100 yards this season. Toledo hasn’t been a friend to bettors over the last two seasons, dropping 12 of their last 18 against the number and just 5 of 16 as a favorite. We continue our Toledo vs Miami betting odds preview by switching our attention to Miami.
Redhawks Confidence At “All-Time High”
We heard the word confidence being thrown around after Miami’s road win against Western Michigan, 34-21, as a 7.5-point favorite. Unlike their opponent, Miami has been winning and covering six of their seven games, including six straight covers and straight-up wins.
The only blemish on the Redhawks season was a season-opening 38-3 loss at the Miami Hurricanes. The win snapped an eight-game losing streak to Western Michigan, making Miami bowl-eligible for the seventh time in eight seasons. Head Coach Chuck Martin talked about how his team was having fun and how this is one of the closest teams in his 10 years leading the program. Since 2018, the Redhawks are 32-24 ATS and 19-13 as an underdog.
The numbers get better as a home underdog with an impressive 7-1 mark. When this clash is over, the MAC NCAA Football standings will have a clear conference favorite. We conclude our Toledo vs Miami betting odds preview with our official selection.
Bettors Ride Defense To Winner
We don’t feel like getting in the way of the Redhawks NCAA Football spreads run, especially now that we’re getting a few points thanks to some overzealous bookmaking. The Redhawks are allowing just 19 points a game (26th in the nation) while allowing just over 200 passing yards a game (32nd in the country).
The records are the same but how each team is arriving in this one couldn’t be further apart. We expect DL Caiden Woullard to add to his six sacks on the season while creating constant havoc. Our official selection is Miami +2.
That does it for our Toledo vs Miami betting odds preview, we wish you nothing but the best with your wagers this week.
