Betting Trends for vs
The Toledo Rockets have underperformed this season as they bring a 9-7 record into this matchup, and I don’t believe they are 9 points better than a solid Central Michigan team. The Chippewas are one of the top-scoring teams in the country as they are averaging 84.4 PPG, and they have an abundance of guys who can make an impact as 4 different guys are averaging over 11 PPG. The Toledo Rockets haven’t had much success scoring the basketball in conference play as they are only averaging 67 PPG, and it will be tough for them to outscore a Central Michigan team that ranks 2nd in college basketball in the same category. The Toledo Rockets have a major strength with their forwards and I expect them to use that to their advantage, but expect the Chippewas to keep this one close. Final Score Prediction, Toledo Rockets win but fail to cover ATS 76-74.
