Kojak said:I have a 2* bet on No.Illinois tonight but the more I look at this game, the more I like it. First of all, I live about 40 minutes from campus. The weather today looks to be 40's, overcast and chance of rain which favors a running game. Looking at Toledo on the road thsi year, it has been poor:
Iowa State (lost in ot, covered, Iowa St. has been exposed) 43-45
W.MIchigan lost 10-31
Pittsburgh lost 3-45
Kent State lost 14-40
Eastern Michigan lost 13-17 (close but E.Michigan near worst in conference)
They avg. 17 ppg on road but if you take out Iowa St. game, it drops to 10 ppg. Their avg marging of defeat is 19 points.
They have not beaten anyone of consequence unless you want to consider their lucky win over Kansas or Div 1A Mcneese St.
Northern Illinois on the other hand has played a tough schedule and been competitive. Wolfe has struggled last 2 games failing to get over 100 yrds. This will be one of his last home games being a senior. I expect this man to go for over 200+ yards tonight easy. This team is 3-1 at home with avg margin of win of over 24 ppg.
Northern still has chance (longshot) of winning MAC division but need to win out and have Central and Western Michigan both lose twice. I doubt this happens but I also doubt they lose here. This game has blowout written all over it. No.ILlinois also has done well in these midweek nationally televised home games. I expect this to be a long game for Toledo. As a result, would like to hear others thoughts before moving it to a 5* play! Both sides welcome to give points.
Any reason why I shouldn't unload my foot into Kojak's ass ... :toast:
I had toledo all day yesterday .. til I read this dumb shit
another lesson learned...
gin out !
