The home team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
I’m not excited to back either of these teams, but there’s no doubt the Toledo Rockets have more talent and their top-25 scoring offense is sure to give a spotty Buffalo defense issues. The Buffalo Bulls just don’t do anything great on either side of the ball, and playing at home hasn’t made much of a difference lately. Toledo should win this game, but I’d love to get off the hook if betting this game.
