TOM STRYKER’S FREE FOOTBALL SELECTION TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND
#302 TOLEDO (-9) over Eastern Michigan at 7:30 PM EST
With a stop unit that is currently ranked No. 1 in the MAC in scoring (allows an avg of 18.3 ppg) and No. 2 in the conference in total defense (surrenders an avg of 326.9 ypg), the Rockets will keep their MAC West division title hopes alive with a solid performance over the visiting Eagles on Tuesday night. EMU enters this battle off a massive 55-24 road win and cover at BGSU and this is going to be a difficult encore for head coach Chris Creighton and his crew.
Historically speaking, Toledo has been in complete control of this series posting a proud 19-2 SU and 15-6 ATS mark in the last 21 meetings. In this run playing in the comforts of home, the Rockets improve to a healthy 10-0 SU and 8-2 ATS. Also, inside the Glass Bowl hosting a team that enters with confidence off a straight up win, UT has been money notching a dependable 39-17 SU and 35-19-1 ATS tally including an elite 18-3 SU and 16-4-1 ATS provided the Rockets are going into revenge. Finally, in their own backyard arriving with steam off a SU and ATS victory, Toledo owns a lucrative 22-3 SU and 17-8 ATS mark provided the Rockets are going into revenge.
Eastern Michigan’s 27-12-1 ATS road mark in its last 40 lined games is certainly noted and respected. However, this will prove to be a difficult spot for the Eagles. When coming off a straight up win, EMU has been a poor investment notching a stiff 21-53 SU and 25-45 ATS record in its next game. As a guest in this situation, Coach Creighton’s boys drop to a horrible 8-37 SU and 13-32 ATS tally including a woeful 4-17 SU and ATS if they take the field off a blowout win of eight points or more. Also, college football road teams hold a soft 86-107-3 ATS record provided they enter off a SU and ATS road win and scored 50 or more points in that victory. If our “play against” guest is tackling a foe that arrives off a straight up win, this system falls to a miserable 41-65-2 ATS. That spells trouble for the Green Birds.
Normally, when you think UT football, a high-octane offense comes to mind. However, in this specific situation, it will be a stout Rockets stop unit that keys this important MAC win and cover. Take Toledo. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
