The Over is 6-1-1 the last 8 times Eastern Michigan has been listed in the underdog role and 6 of the Eagles last 7 away from home have also landed Over the posted price.
Last season's meeting between the teams ended up landing in the Under column in a 29-23 Ball State win, but they Under snapped a string of 3 straight series Overs and the Over is still 8-2 the past 10 times these rivals have faced one another.
Count me in on an Over tonight in this battle of the MAC birds.
The Rockets were a major money-burner to close out last season - 0-6-1 against the line their last 7 games - and their 6-6 straight up mark left them as the lone bowl-eligible FBS team to NOT get invited to a bowl game!
I am sure that fact left a bit of a chip on Toledo's shoulders and the fact they came out last week for Coach Jason Candle and smoked Bowling Green, 38-3 at home. There is the matter that the Rockets have been grounded on the road where they have lost 9 of their last 10 as the visitor straight up failing 6 straight against the spread! But this is a new season and playing in nearly empty stadiums - not that the MAC packs them in - could indeed work in the Rockets favor this time around.
One thing I know that works is the series numbers for Toledo when facing Western Michigan, as the Rockets have won and covered in each of the last 3 series meetings and stand at 8-2 straight up the past 10 times they have faced the Broncos.
As for Western Michigan, they opened the new season with major question marks as they came into this year minus quarterback Jon Wassink and of course MAC offensive player of the year LeVante Bellamy. WMU used a trio of RB's (Jefferson, Tyler and Kincaide) who combined for 180 yards rushing and they each scored a touchdown. Soph QB Kaleb Eleby was able to throw for 262 yards and 3 TD's, but it should be pointed out that all of those offensive stats were accomplished against a piss-poor Akron team that is 0-for-infinity in wins the past couple of seasons.
With better Western Michigan teams not being able to break through in this series for the past few seasons, I am going to lean on Toledo to be able to maintain their series dominance over the Broncos.
