Love Bowling Green to play and cover this spread on the road. If this was Toledo's last home game I'd second guess it but instead you got Toledo who just got their bells rung by Northern Illinois 65-30 in what was their chance to go to the MAC Championship game. They are mathematically alive, but this team knows Northern Ill is not losing their last two games. They still have a lot to play for and a solid bowl game if they win out, but this is a hangover game in my opinion against a Bowling Green team that is hungry to upset in what is a BIG Rivalry game. The two are just 30 miles apart and it's been a long history between the two. Toledo has their back up QB playing just like in last years game as their starter is out and they turn to red shirt freshmen Terrance Owens who was 18-38 vs. Northern Ill passing the ball. Owens can run, but his accuracy is limited. Expect a closer game and for Bowling Green to force turnovers. They have 28 take aways on the season. This team has not been able to run the ball , but I wouldn't be shocked if they can tonight as Willie Getter who has only rushed over 100 yards twice will be behind the healthies offensive lines all season as Center Ben Bojicic will return which will allow Scott Lewis to relieve freshmen LG Dominic Flewellyn. This is a huge difference and I expect Bowling Green to prove why many are calling this game their bowl game!
