Predicted Outcome
Toledo is the superior team in terms of talent and home field, but their recent results suggest vulnerability against large spreads. Kent State has shown some fight as an underdog but has not faced a team of Toledo's caliber on the road this season. The total is set in a reasonable range given both teams' inconsistencies.
Predicted Score: Toledo 30, Kent State 17
