Toledo vs Western Kentucky Prediction
Western Kentucky hasn’t played anybody up to this point but has still lit it up offensively and McIvor is building on a strong season he had with Abilene Christian. Tucker Gleason didn’t look good in his opener and Toledo as a whole struggled offensively, which included an average of two yards per carry. If that continues, it’s hard to lay big numbers with Toledo.
Also, Toledo is 6-11 ATS in its last 17 games when favorites of 5 or more points. Western Kentucky did beat Toledo last season as a 2.5-point underdog, and the offense looks better this season through 2 games. I’ll grab the free touchdown with the Hilltoppers.
