Eastern Michigan vs Toledo Prediction
I’m on the Eagles here. I can get behind Toledo being favored, but this is where the Eagles have thrived historically, in the underdog role. Toledo just turns the ball over way too frequently for my liking, and I think that in the end, Toledo could win but this feels like a 3-4 point game. Give me the Eagles and the points.
