Toledo vs Western Michigan Prediction
Western Michigan has been horrible through three games as it’s arguably the worst offensive club through the first month and the defense has been getting run over. However, Western Michigan has also played Michigan State and Illinois, as well as a North Texas team that’s favored on the road against Army this week. Let’s give Western Michigan some grace. This will be just the third time since 2016 where Western Michigan is a double-digit home underdog. You don’t get these spots often with Western Michigan. I need to see more from Toledo to lay these sorts of numbers on the road. Give me the points with the Broncos.
