Toledo has been great on both ends of the court this season as the Rockets come into this matchup ranked t-46^th in scoring offense, 120^th in scoring defense, 38^th in defensive FG%, & 46^th in rebound margin. Bowling Green has been led by their offense which ranks 6^th in scoring offense & 56^th in three-pointers made per game, however, the defense has struggled giving up points as the Falcons rank just 317^th in scoring defense.

Toledo has been a soldi team this season, however, they are just 3-4 on the road this season which includes an embarrassing 21-point loss at Oakland. Bowling Green is 6-1 at home this season and as I think their offense will have plenty of success against Rockets in this one, I think the play here is to take the Falcons and the points. Good Luck!
