Pick

I’m backing the Golden Flashes here. Toledo’s been on a fantastic run, but their kryptonite this season has been Kent State as the Golden Flashes’ defense just has been the one problem the Toledo can’t seem to solve. This should be an awesome matchup, but I think it’s Kent State that’s going dancing. Give me the Golden Flashes here.
