Central Michigan Looks to Break Long Conference Losing Streak

The Central Michigan Chippewas got a win in their first conference game of the season. But they have lost four straight conference games since then, dropping to 3-6 overall and 1-4 in conference play. Another loss will knock the Chippewas out of bowl contention. To avoid that loss, the offense of the Chips has to be better than it has been in the last two weeks, where they have averaged just 10 points per game in losses to Miami (OH) and Bowling Green.

Toledo Looks to Stay In MAC Title Race

Toledo is 6-3 overall and 3-2 in MAC play this season. But they trail four teams in the MAC standings, as four teams enter this week at 4-1 in conference play in 2024. To keep themselves in the race to make the MAC title game, Toledo has to win at home as a heavy favorite in this contest. The key to Toledo’s success in conference play has been whether or not they can hold opponents under 30 points. Toledo is 3-0 in games where they have held MAC foes under 30 and 0-2 in games where they have allowed 30 or more to conference opponents.

Central Michigan vs Toledo Betting Pick

We expect Toledo to hold Central Michigan under 30 points in this game and to move to 4-2 in conference play. But instead of laying 15 points with the Rockets in this game, we will take the under instead. Look for Toledo to be in a position where they can run clock in the fourth quarter and for Central Michigan’s offense to sputter once again in what could be a lopsided game from Ohio on Tuesday night.
