Pick
I’m backing the over here. I like Toledo in this spot, but their defense continues to be an issue and that concerns me in a head-to-head matchup that’s always been high-scoring, with 5 of the last 6 meetings going over the total, including 4 that went over the number by double-digits. Give me the over here.
