Friday, November 18
The Toledo Rockets and the Central Michigan Chippewas will meet on Friday when they battle at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
The high-fl ying Rockets have their sights set on a second-straight eightwin bowl season and despite a 0-3 ATS weekday log this season, we’re not about to jump in front of team that has lit up the scoreboard for 126 points in its last two games – especially knowing that teams off back-toback 60-point scoring efforts are a confi dent 25-4 SU and 18-10 ATS.
And while series history (5-2 ATS last seven, 4-1 ATS last fi ve at home) points to the Chippewas, most of that damage was done with QB Dan LeFevour under center. With LeFevour two years removed from Mt.
Pleasant, the Chips are headed toward their second consecutive three-win season and this twelfth (and fi nal) straight game without rest should also hand them their seventh straight ATS loss (1-9 ATS to date).
Need a little more fuel before backing the Rockets? In three games against common opponentsthis season, Toledo holds a 207-YPG net stat advantage.
Need we say more? Chalk it up – over and out.
