    Return of the MAC
    Red-Hot Rockets Going For Ninth-Straight Win vs. Ball State in ESPN2 Tuesday Clash



    102 Toledo -6(-110) vs 101 Ball State




    During my first year in college, I had a roommate in the dorms that loved betting the MAC, and wouldn't bet any other conference as hard, or do as much research as he did with the MAC. Having won alongside him pretty consistently I have fallen in love with this crappy Big-Ten punching bag.


    Tuesday, November 6th is Election Night for the country but it's also a decisive night in the battle for the West Division crown of the Mid-American Conference. The Toledo Rockets host Ball State on Nov. 6 in a nationally televised contest at the Glass Bowl (8:00 p.m. / ESPN2) in what could help determine the eventual MAC champion. Toledo (8-1, 5-0 MAC) is tied for first in the MAC West with Northern Illinois, while Ball State (6-3, 3-2 MAC) is still in the hunt.

    Notes


    Since 1992, Toledo is 24-10 ATS as a favorite of 3.5-10 points
    Ball State's run defense is giving up just over 200 yards a game, while Toledo's Run offense is producing 255.6 ypg
    Toledo is 6-3 ATS this year and 8-1 SU
    Toledo's average margin of victory is 9.5
    This year Ball State is giving up 37.6 points on the road and Toledo is scoring 36 points at home
    Toledo is giving up only 25.2 points at home
    Toledo is 19-2 in its last 21 MAC games



    Toledo's running back David Fluellen is third in the country for rushing yards with 1,181

      As is Toledo, I've had pretty good success winning on Ball State this year. Especially when they played Army. However, Toledo steps up in big games. They should win by DD

              Toledos quarterback is going to play sick, while toledos defence is aweful but their offence is amazing.... so i dont know how effective their offence will be with a sick quarterback. but if i had to choose i would pick toledo. Ive seen Toledos stadium.... when its packed... Its a mad house and toledo is already going nuts over this game tonight... i will be shocked if ball state wins or loses by less than a touchdown.

              MAC is not the big ten punching bag.... not to mention the MAC made the big eas their bitch this year.
