Rating:
Toledo will play without its starting quarterback Dequan Finn who passed for 2657 yards and rushed for 563 yards. The Rockets will have to play with Tucker Gleason who had only 199 yards passing, 5 yards rushing and four touchdown passes. Toledo will have its top running back Peny Boone (1,400 yards and 15 TDs) but Wyoming will stack seven players at the line to stop the run and force an inexperienced Gleason to throw the ball to beat them. Wyoming's offense is balanced at 50th in rushing and 51st in passing and will use that combination led by quarterback Andrew Peasley to work their way through the Toledo defense, who's weak spot if one exists, is on the ground. This game will be close from start to finish only because it's a tough defense that Toledo plays but in the end a lack of offense by the Rockets will be their downfall and will help Wyoming come out on top.
Prediction: Wyoming Cowboys
Full-Game Total Pick
Insiders Status:
Rating:
Wyoming will score its share of points as the Cowboys will have a full lineup to choose from on that side of the line of scrimmage but Toledo will struggle without its starting QB Dequan Finn. The total has finished under in each of Toledo’s last two games and in five of the Rockets last seven games. Expect more running plays from both sides in this matchup, which will help to eat up the clock making fewer possessions for both teams.
