Toledo vs San Diego State Prediction
San Diego State is 0-3 ATS on the season and is coming off a bad home loss to James Madison. Toledo has done a fine job of beating up on the teams its suppsoed to beat and has covered 7 of its last 10 games overall. Toledo can be hit or miss defensively, but its high-powered offense should give San Diego State fits, especially with the Aztecs’ inability to stop the run. It feels like SDSU has taken a step back this year as the toughness in the trenches is gone. I’ll lay the small number with Toledo at home.
