– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions
Toledo vs Ohio Game Preview
Why Toledo Will Win
Toledo is bowl eligible with a win and would keep MAC East hopes alive – at least for a day.
The Rockets are rolling offensively with close to 1,200 yards of total O over the last two weeks, rolling up an almost perfect balance to beat Bowling Green last week.
The running game has been terrific all year, the offense is playing the best it has all season, and the defense continues to be the best in the league even after getting ripped up by Eastern Michigan a few weeks ago.

What’s Going To Happen
The Toledo run defense has been terrific – for the most part.
Can the Rockets finally come up with a little bit of consistency? It hasn’t been easy to win close games, but four of the five losses were by three points or fewer.
Ohio is playing strong, though, and it’ll come up with one more big performance as it finishes up with a nice thorn-in-the-side win at home.
