Toledo vs. Wyoming Betting Prediction
Take Toledo. I know Dequan Finn is out for the Rockets and I know that’s why most bettors will be on Wyoming today. However, Gleason is a 6-foot-3, 235-pound signal-caller with some experience. He’s not Finn, but he doesn’t have to be for the Rockets to keep this game close.
The Cowboys don’t have much of a pass rush and they struggle to get off the field on third down. That somewhat negates the loss of Finn, who bolted Toledo for Baylor in the transfer portal. Toledo also has an outstanding offensive line so assuming Gleason has time to throw, he should be able to find some space in Wyoming’s secondary.
The other factor is that Wyoming doesn’t control the clock. Yes, the Cowboys will pick up yards in chunks and yes, they’ll put plenty of points on the board. But what happens in the fourth quarter when Wyoming needs to salt clock and it can’t? Toledo will keep this game tight.
Toledo vs. Wyoming Prediction: TOLEDO ROCKETS +3.5
