It’s the most important MAC game of the weekend after Ohio lost to Miami University. Now, Toledo can make a big statement and set up a big chance to dominate the title chase over the next few weeks. However, it has to deal with a UMass team trying to make history.
The UMass football program has never played in a bowl game. At 5-4, it has three shots at getting a sixth win, but it has to keep the momentum going after slipping past Ball State to stop a four-game losing streak.

Why Toledo Will Win
The Buffalo game was the one MAC game that Toledo lost, and that was because the Rockets turned it over three times and couldn’t stop the run.
UMass was a takeaway machine over the first part of the season, and then it all stopped. The defense only generated a turnover in one of the last five games, and then there’s the rushing attack.
It was great in September, and it came to a dead stop at times over the last month.
UMass vs Toledo Prediction, Betting Lines
Toledo will take care of business. The Buffalo debacle was in the Glass Bowl, but overall, the team has been solid at home. UMass, though, has been good on the road and will bring a good fight and the passing game.
Expect a locked-in Rocket team with the MAC’s best offense putting this away early in the third quarter.
