Toledo Rockets at Brigham Young Cougars Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
Toledo (3-0) continues to win. However, the Rockets have lost much of their luster as they have been beating up on FCS cupcakes in recent weeks after opening with a statement win against Arkansas State to kick off the 2016-17 season where the Rockets routed the Red Wolves on the road.

<p>
BYU (1-3) after winning their season opener against Arizona has embarked upon a bitter three-game skid. The Cougars were in each of these games and could have won them as easily as they have lost. Against Power Five competitors, including Utah, UCLA and West Virginia, the Cougars fall by a combined margin of just seven points. The Cougars could easily be 4-0.

Toledo Rockets at Brigham Young Cougars Prediction
In the early going we have seen 63% of the public money come in on the Cougars spotting the points to the road dog Toledo Rockets. Currently the Total Line sits at 52 with no tangible action to report on. We are going to fade public opinion and go in on the Rockets. Toledo is not a run of the mill Group of Five football club. This is an outfit that won 10 games in 2015 matched by tangible experience in winning within hostile road environs. In 2015, Toledo took down the highly-regarded Arkansas Razorbacks in both team’s season opener. Furthermore, we need not look any further than what transpired just a few weeks ago in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Heavy steamed rolled in on the marginally favored Arkansas State and contrary to popular opinion, the Rockets lit up Arkansas State as they had done in each of their recent encounters. Toledo will treat BYU no differently than they do any other team. It’s all business for the Rockets and they do not care who you are or where you play. Some can argue that BYU is due for a win, but on the contrary they may enter flat after suffering demoralizing defeat after defeat. Regardless of how they lost, the Cougars are still on a skid and that in itself is worth laying. We will fade the public and take the road points as the Rockets enter this fixture in almost identical regard as they did in Week One against Ark State. History has a funny way of repeating itself.
