Ball State vs Toledo Prediction & Pick
Toledo has dominated this MAC rivalry over the last decade, winning six of its last eight matchups against Ball State. Oddsmakers clearly expect this trend to continue and it's hard not to agree with them.
Though both schools have had similar success lately, Toledo has been succeeding more dominantly. The Cardinals have single-possession victories over Kent State, Central Michigan and NIU over their last five games, while the Rockets have beaten each of those teams by at least 20 points this season.
It also helps that Toledo is 4-0 at home this season, whereas Ball State started 0-2 on the road before barely escaping with wins against Kent State an d Central Michigan. With the Rockets showing no signs of slowing down at the Glass Bowl, I'm counting on Toledo to stay strong at home.
Final Score Prediction:'Toledo: 38 | Ball State: 24
