Toledo vs Miami (OH) Prediction
Toledo will be up for this game at home, as an undefeated team is coming to town. The Rockets would love nothing more than to spoil the party, and they’re playing well in their own right with 4 straight wins and a defense that’s showing up nightly.
However, Miami (OH) has given us no reason to bet against it, as it’s not only undefeated with an elite offense, but it’s 10-3 ATS. Miami (OH) also has 6 road wins this season, so it’s not like it’s getting fat on a heavy home schedule. Until Miami (OH) falls off and stops cashing tickets, I’ll keep blindly backing, especially with lines this soft. Give me Miami (OH).
