Toledo Rockets vs. Eastern Michigan predictions
Sportsbook Wire: Toledo 34, Eastern Michigan 19
Seth Orlemann writes, "BET OVER 46.5 (-110).
"Both teams have high-powered offenses. Eastern Michigan has scored less than 21 only 1 time in the last 5 weeks while Toledo has scored under 21 in just 1 of its 9 total games this season. Toledo has given up at least 31 points in 2 of its last 3 home games while the Eagles have given up at least 21 points in all 4 of their road games."
Action Network: Take the points for Eastern Michigan
Eric Caselton writes, "While Toledo holds a big edge on the ground against a weak Eastern Michigan run defense, I think the history of this matchup matters. Eastern Michigan has played one-score games against Toledo in four of their last five matchups. I think the Eagles can find enough success on the ground to hang around in what should be a low-scoring ground-and-pound game for both teams.
"Give me EMU at +19."
Pickswise: Lay the points for Toledo
Sam Avellone writes, "Toledo seems to be the most complete team in the MAC this year, and while the Rockets typically have a game or two where they trip over themselves – I’m not sure this is the game. I expect the Rockets to run away with this one in their final home game of the season and power-rate this game as high as -21.5. I’ll lay the points with Toledo."

Andrew Caley writes, "I’m looking at Toledo to go Over its team total which is sitting at 32.5. The Rockets average 34.4 points per game and have topped this number in three of their last six games overall. Additionally, the nature of their running offense allows them to keep the same game plan even if they get up big.
"My best bet: Toledo team total Over 32.5"
