Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders at Toledo Rockets Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders </b>
</p>
<p>
The Blue Raiders come into this contest off their sixth consecutive loss obtained a week ago at home when MTSU hosted the Murray State Racers and fell by a score of 62-42 as a 5.5-point underdog. The Blue Raiders have yet to cover this season as they stand 0-8 ATS in the 2018-19 season.
</p>
<p>
<b>Toledo Rockets </b>
</p>
<p>
On the contrary, the Rockets step into this affair on a seven-game winning streak capped off most recently by a 75-74 overtime win against the Marshall Thundering Herd on their court where Toledo was a two-point dog. Toledo has also gone 5-2 ATS over their seven-game winning streak.

<h2>
Reasons to Avoid Toledo<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Rockets are primed to inflict an inflated number on takers to lay given their stellar form at the moment. When you factor in that they stand at 4-0 SU on the season in Toledo, this propensity is heightened. What may make Toledo even more supremely overpriced here is the terrible form of Middle Tennessee both straight-up and against the spread. As a result of this trend, the market will be inclined to saturate the numbers next to the Blue Raiders name to get action on them. Very simply, Rocket backers are setting themselves up for an overlay here.

<h2>
Reasons to Back Middle Tennessee State<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Blue Raiders have also played a far tougher schedule compared to their counterparts. According to KenPom, the Blue Raiders have played the 5th toughest schedule in America compared to Toledo have navigated a friendlier 253rd -ranked dossier. When you factor in the luck quotient also resting with the Rockets (Toledo is 45th compared to Middle Tennessee State who is 78th), this is a venue where the Blue Raiders may be lying in wait as they are the more battle-tested bunch that have unfortunately been on the wrong side of equation more than their opponents. This works against Toledo greatly as MTSU may actually be in a position to pull an upset against a weaker opponent by comparison to their schedule.
