The Toledo Rockets have been hit or miss all season long, and they enter this title game playing poor football, which includes losses to Bowling Green and Western Michigan. The Ohio Bobcats haven’t lost since October 1, and they’re one of the better passing offenses in the country, led by one of the more underrated quarterbacks in the country. Ohio should have a lot of success in this dome in Detroit. I’m kind of surprised Ohio is an underdog here. Feels like we’re getting free points with the better team. Give me Ohio.
