Betting Trends
Ohio is 12-10-1 over the total point margin for the season, 5-2-1 on the road and 3-6-0 following a loss. Toledo is 13-11-0 over the total point line for the season, 6-5-0 at home and 5-3-0 following a loss.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Mid-American Conference is not among the top ones in the country, but that doesn’t stop us from providing solid picks. Toledo is near the top of the conference and is the favorite to win this one. They have been dominating Ohio in recent years, winning nine of the last 10 games. However, the Bobcats have been playing pretty well and will stand a chance in this game. Both teams are offensively organized, and we will watch a much faster pace than usual for college basketball. The total point line is set at 159.5 points, which seems a little high. Knowing how good these two shooting teams are, this game should easily go over it.
