Line is starting to jump a little. You can get -3 -115 or -3 -120 at a few books some are -3.5 but your best bet is to grab the -3 with the extra juice just in case.. If you can't get the -3 buy the hook.. I like this bet more than the steelers last week.
TOLEDO, OH - Toledo returns to the Glass Bowl for the first time in nearly a month, hosting the Wyoming Cowboys of the Mountain West Conference in the first meeting between the schools this Saturday, Oct. 2 at the Glass Bowl (7:00 p.m.).
Saturday's game is Homecoming for UT, and while Coach Tim Beckman's team will certainly be glad to see the friendly faces at the Glass Bowl, the last three weeks have been very productive. Since losing the home opener to Arizona on Sept. 3, the Rockets have reeled off three consecutive road victories, prompting Beckman to joke that maybe his team will don its road white jerseys for the games.
The Rockets' most recent win, a 31-20 triumph at Purdue on Sept. 25, was their best combination of offense, defense and special teams yet this season. The offense racked up a season-high 378 yards of offense, led by a four-touchdown effort by sophomore QB Austin Dantin (two throwing, two rushing). The defense held Purdue to just 95 yards of offense in the first half, helping UT jump out to a 17-0 halftime lead, and then came up with a key Archie Donald interception late in the game to seal the upset. Toledo's punts (45.8 avg.) and kickoffs were solid, too, and Eric Page's late 50-yard kickoff return set up the Rockets' final score.
Toledo will next see if their momentum extended to the Glass Bowl where it will host a battle-tested Wyoming squad. The Cowboys have lost three straight games, but their ultra-tough schedule makes that record difficult to evaluate. Two of their losses have come to No. 3 Boise State and at No. 5 Texas. The third was last week, a close 20-14 decision to Air Force at home. More weight should probably be placed on the fact that Wyoming went 7-6 last season and won the New Mexico Bowl.
The Cowboys are led by former UT assistant coach Dave Christensen, who debuted in Laramie last season after nine seasons as the offensive coordinator at Missouri under former UT head coach Gary Pinkel.
