Toledo is 0-5-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a win and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 neutral site games as an underdog. Coastal Carolina is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games following an ATS win and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 while the under is 11-4 in their last 15 games overall.

I get why Toledo would be favored here as the Rockets have had their fair share of success already this season. However, the Rockets have also been involved in a lot closer games than they should’ve been, like the games against Tulane and Valparaiso. Coastal Carolina hasn’t had as many reps this season so far, but I think the Chants and the points are worth a look in a game I see coming down to the wire.
