EMU is coming into this game as a 9.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Both of these teams are coming out of their bye week for this game and both of them won their last game going into the bye. Toledo looked really good as they held WMU to less than 20 points in their game. EMU also looked good as they just scored over 5. points on BGSU who just pulled off the upset over Buffalo. Both teams are going to be prepared for this game due to the bye so this is going to be a much closer game. The best bet to place in this game is on EMU to cover the spread here.
