Randy’s Free Pick
The Toledo Rockets have been the better team this season, they’re playing the better ball now, and they’re at home, which is an even bigger advantage. The Central Michigan Chippewas have nothing going for them these days, and they’re getting worse as they’re losing their last 5 games by an average of 15.8 points. This has the potential to get ugly. Give me Toledo in a blowout.
