Fresno State outlasts Toledo at home.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: OVER 60 Points
Fresno State is going to want to play a slow-tempo style and control the clock as much as possible to keep this explosive Toledo offense off of the field, and they shouldn’t have a problem doing that as Toledo gave up an average of 7.5 YPC against Nevada.
The Bulldogs will have been off for nearly two week and are itching to get back into the action.
This is a cross country road trip for Toledo so I expect their defense to be lacking more than usual, but I’m not counting out Guadagni.
Not bothering with the spread as it could go either way, but I do expect both offenses to have they’re ways against these defenses.
Back the total to eclipse the total point threshold.
