Western Kentucky vs Toledo Prediction
The Toledo Rockets are one of the best offensive teams in the country through three games, and they have the edge at quarterback in this matchup. The WKU Hilltoppers have had zero success running the ball, the offense hasn’t finished drives, and their defense has been ridiculously bad. Toledo has covered 5 of its last 8 games as a favorite. The way Toledo just made light work of Mississippi State last week should have turned some heads. I’ll lay the points with Toledo on the road.
