In this article, we will formulate a Toledo vs Miami-OH prediction for this College Football Week 6 game on Saturday, September 5th, at the Glass Bowl.  Let’s take a look at a Miami OH Redhawks vs Toledo Rockets pick.

How Does Toledo Bounce Back?

Toledo had won the first three games of the season before they were knocked off in the last game against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. They played well in the first half but in the second half they were outscored 19-7 and that led to the defeat. Tucker Gleason completed 19 of his 33 passes for 200 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. On the season, Gleason has thrown for 862 yards, 11 touchdowns, and two interceptions. He needs to do a better job of not turning the ball over. 

Toledo on the season is averaging 37.3 points while their defense is giving up 19 points per game. The offense is ranked 23rd in the league while the pitching is ranked 39th. If the Toledo offense is good, they are going to be in good shape to secure the win. 

Why Toledo Will Beat Miami 

  • Toledo has won each of its last eight games against non-AP-ranked teams at Glass Bowl.
  • Miami (OH) has lost three of its last four games against non-AP-ranked teams.
  • Toledo has covered the spread in seven of its last eight home games in October.
  • Miami (OH) has failed to cover the spread in three of its last four games.

Miami Looks to Build on Last Game

Miami lost their first three games of the season but they were able to beat the last game in overtime. Miami of Ohio almost blew the last game against UMass by being outscored 10-3 in the 4th quarter. Brett Gabret completed 16 of his 25 passes for 181 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Keyon Mozee had a huge game on the ground finishing with nine carries for 114 yards and a touchdown. The offense for this team overall hasn’t been great. Against Northwestern, they lost 16-3, and against Notre Dame, they lost 28-3. 

The Redhawks on the season are averaging 12 points while their defense is giving up 22 points per game. The offense is ranked 133th while the defense is ranked 57th. The offense needs to find a way to get going in this game. 

Toledo vs Miami-Oh Prediction

Toledo is going to put on a show in this game. Miami of Ohio’s offense is a major issue and it’s not going to magically get any better in this game. Toledo’s offense is going to get out to a fast start and the Redhawks aren’t going to have any answer. Gabert isn’t going to have a good game here and Toledo will cause him to throw a couple of interceptions. Back Toledo against the spread here.
