The Toledo Rockets and Eastern Michigan Eagles square off Tuesday night in week 10 college football MAC-tion from the Glass Bowl in Toledo, Ohio.

The Eastern Michigan Eagles come into this game looking to add to their 55-24 win over Bowling Green in their last game. Ben Bryant has thrown for 1,836 yards, 10 touchdowns and 4 interceptions on 69% passing while Jawon Hamilton and Darius Boone Jr. each have 300+ rushing yards combining for 655 yards and 10 touchdowns while Samson Evans has a team-high 7 touchdowns this season. Hassan Beydoun and Dylan Drummond each have 500+ receiving yards while Zach Westmoreland and Bryson Cannon each have 200+ receiving yards this season. On defense, Tariq Speights leads the Eagles with 49 total tackles and David Carter Jr has a pair of interceptions while Turan Rush has a team-high 3.5 sacks this season.

The Toledo Rockets will be out to build on their own 34-15 beatdown win over Western Michigan last time out. Carter Bradley has thrown for 962 yards, 4 touchdowns and an interception on 59.5% passing while Dequan Finn’s thrown for 717 yards and 5 scores while also rushing for 351 yards and 6 touchdowns. Bryant Koback leads the Rockets in rushing with 642 yards and 5 touchdowns while Devin Maddox leads the Rockets with 407 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns. Isaiah Winstead has 310 receiving yards while Koback and Bryce Mitchell each have 200+ receiving yards this season. On defense, Maxen Hook leads the Rockets with 60 total tackles while Terrance Taylor has a team-high 3 sacks.

Eastern Michigan is 24-9 ATS in their last 33 road games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 Tuesday games. Toledo is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a win while the under is 6-0 in their last 6 games overall.

I get why you’d look at Eastern Michigan and the points as the Eagles look like they’re back among the top teams in the MAC this season. However, Toledo’s been a house of horrors for the Eagles in recent years as Toledo is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings at home in this one, and the two quarterback thing makes It hard to prepare for as you have two gameplans you have to create and put in place if you’re the coaching staff. I think Toledo takes care of business here and wins by 10-14 points, so give me the Rockets here.
