Western Michigan vs. Toledo Prediction, Odds, Line, Spread, and Picks - January 6

Western Michigan Broncos are in Ohio tonight, all set to tackle the Toledo Rockets in a MAC matchup.

Things haven't been going well for Western Michigan lately. They opened the season 2-2 and have proceeded to lose eight out of ten since then. They have also struggled on the road, winning only one of their first eight tries away from home.

Toledo dropped their MAC opener against Ball State on Tuesday, but the season has gone pretty well for them so far. They are 10-4, and the Ball State loss was their first at home this season. Junior guard Rayj Dennis is having an impressive season, averaging 19.2 points per game, which puts him at 35th in the nation at this level.

Western Michigan vs. Toledo Betting Prediction

Western Michigan find success when their defense is stifling the opposition, and that's the exact opposite of what they've done on the road this season. Even with Toledo's porous defense, they will try to make the game a track meet and look to win that way. The Rockets' explosive offense is expected to be too much for the Broncos to keep up with, and Toledo should run away with the game.
