Season YTD: 10-13
Sides: 8-10
O/U: 2-3
Yesterday: 1-0
Last Saturday: 3-4
Teasers: 0-1 (Seperate from Season YTD)
Saturday: TOLEDO -10 (POD)
The boys in Vegas are off in this one IMO. Toledo is a solid team, returning 8 starters on offense and 5 on D, going 8-4 last year and 7-3-1 ATS. So far this year they are 0-2 both SU and ATS but they've played outside their caliber range also vs. Minnesota and Kansas. Today they play a horrific Eastern Michigan team. Toledo averaged 32.4 ppg in '03, and ranked 11th in the country in total yardage. Toledo is 29-17 ATS (63%) against conference opponents since 1996 including 13-3 ATS in the last three years. This game is on turf where Toledo is 23-11 ATS going back 8 years. Eastern Mich. was 3-8 (6-4 ATS) last year so the good news is that they return 16 starters. They lost to Toledo 49-14 last year with a spread of +27. Eastern Michigan is improved no doubt, with a 1st year coach former RB coach for Northwestern Jeff Genyk but the real problem here is their defense. They give up waaaaay too many points averaging around 35 per game and they should give up that many vs. Toledo today, if not more, who has a 71% passer in Bruce Gradowski, a balanced game, and 4 All-MAC returning starters on offense.
Best of luck to everyone today!!! :thumbs:
