Free Betting Pick: Eastern Michigan Eagles +9
The Eastern Michigan Eagles have covered the number in 4 straight meetings against the Toledo Rockets, and I expect similar trends to follow here. Eastern Michigan is playing good defense in conference play as they have held their previous two opponents to 69 points or less which will be the key here against an explosive Toledo team. Eastern Michigan has an advantage down low with James Thompson IV and I expect them to play through the senior forward. Toledo wins but fails to cover, 71-66.
