Buffalo Bulls at Toledo Rockets Overview
Toledo Rockets
The Rockets enter in off a loss that looked far worse than the score-line indicated when they fell at the hands of the Eastern Michigan Eagles on the road by a score of 28-26, failing to cover in their third consecutive game. The Rockets trailed by as much as 25 points before they rallied back to find a touchdown that brought them within two in the final minute of play. A failed two-point conversion attempt would serve as the difference maker between extra time being required and EMU getting the win.
Buffalo Bulls
The Bulls continue to roll as they have now won their ninth game in their last ten outings dating back to 2017. The only loss the Bulls suffered this year was at the hands of the Army Black Knights, three weeks ago. The Bulls most recent victim was the Akron Zips who they defeated 24-6, covering now for their second week in a row as a 12-point favorite. This is a Buffalo team that owns wins over Temple and Rutgers on the road.
Reasons To Back Toledo
Lest we forget that the Rockets are the defending MAC Champion and they are at home for this one. Because their stock is so low at the moment, we are asked to spot a moderate amount of points here. Had the Rockets won last weekend and covered, perhaps would we would be asked to lay far more lumber to the Bulls. Be that as it may, we have an opportunity to step in a short-sold favorite which is always a good position to take.
Reasons To Avoid Buffalo
The Bulls appear to be a public dog as initial leans would suggest that the consensus is all over UB in this one. After all, the Bulls are taking back nearly a field goal after being asked to lay double-digit points the week before. In essence, this makes the Bulls look too good to be true and often that is a sign of a dangling carrot more than a nugget of gold. The Rockets only have one MAC loss this season, and a win here puts them in prime position to make a solid title defense. Toledo knows this and will certainly not be coming in flat here.
