Toledo is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite while the under is 6-2 in their last 8 games overall. Ohio is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 conference games while the under is 11-1 in their last 12 games as a home underdog.
I get why Toledo would be favored here, and maybe it’s a square play, but I’m leaning towards Ohio and the points here. I mean the Bobcats have been a cover machine over the last month and a half and while the Rockets are a solid team, they’ve been in their fair share of close calls as of late. Looks like a prime spot for the Bobcats to bank another cover so I’ll lean towards Ohio and the points here.
