Utah St - 34 Toledo - 21
Aggies -10 under 58.5
After last years bowl loss to Ohio, the Aggies will play this one with a chip on their shoulder. ALWAYS A RISKY PLAY WHEN A WAC TEAM IS GIVING DOUBLE-DIGITS, BUT my gut is telling me this might be easier than my predicted score.

Toledo has faced better quality opp? Did you watch football at all this year? Toledo's schedule was gross. I will give you two games; NILL & Cincy (I guess?). The rest of the teams they played are garbage. Complete & total Garbage. And no, Zona don't count. RR's system takes time to develop and that was the first game his kid ran under that system.
On the flip side, Utah State actually played competent teams. There is a reason San Jose St is a 7 point favorite v BG. And teams like BYU, La Tech, Utah & Wisconsin, etc would have a field day vs "Eastern Michigan" & Akron. Matter of fact, La Tech beat teams like ILL (who beat your "MAC" team in WMichigan) and almost beat TA&M.
The schedules aren't even comparable.
The biggest mismatch in this game isn't even on the field. Its on the sidelines. If you take Toledo in this game, I will be watching the threads for all the posts talking about "what was he thinking". Toledo has made terrible in game adjustments all year, and head scratching calls are made every game. Utah St not only has better players, but a better staff.

Toledo + 10 Over Utah State!
Must take points here with Toledo! True, Utah State perfect 6-0 vs. point spread at home last 6 games. But Famous Idaho Potato Bowl to be decided on "neutral field."
Both teams dead-even on offense "away from home", with Utah State holding only a 7 point advantage on defense last three games.
And Utah State's 7-1 against the spread record, somewhat deceptive. Vegas spread covers were mostly against "weak" teams, with spreads of -20, -23, -26 and -30. But Toledo no 49-9 Utah State/Idaho blow-out team!
Now, QB Terrance Owens and superstar RB David Fluellen (1460 YR and 13 rushing TDs) are both expected to play in Saturday's game! And Toledo now 6-0 vs. point spread last 6 games as underdog!
Will look for QB Terrance Owens (2681 YDs and 14 TDs) to match points with Utah States QB Chukie Keeton. Will trust in Toledo's defense to do its best to hold back star RB Kerwynn Williams, and allow QB Owens and RB Fluellen to put up enough points to cover the 10 point spread.
Toledo plus 10 to 10.5 points vs. Utah State!
Will go light with Nevada and Toledo...and count on 4-Team Parlay posted with Cincinnati over Philidelphia to "stay alive" into heavy straight up play on Ball State next Friday night!

taking points and money line with toledo
The Toledo Rockets bring a high-powered running game into the Idaho Potato Bowl vs. the Utah State Aggies. The Rockets’ running attack is led by David Flullen who ran for 1,456 yards on the season with 13 TDs. He is complimented by QB Terrence Owens who threw for 8.1 yards per attempt, but has also carried for 381 yards and five TDs as well. This offense puts up 32.9 points per game which leaves a tall order for Utah State laying double digits. The Rockets defense hasn't been the greatest, allowing 27.3 points per game. But, they are very opportunistic, finishing the season with 17 INTs. Utah State ran the table in the WAC and comes into the game on a six-game winning streak. They are a more balanced team with an offense that generates over 30 ppg and a defense ranked No. 15 in the country, but will get a stiff test in this one. Both of these squads bring Bowl experience as Toledo tasted the fruits of a Bowl win a year ago over Air Force, while Utah State lost to another MAC team in Ohio. There is definitely a different "pedigree" here when it comes to Bowls, as Toledo has been a very good Bowl team at 8-4, while Utah State is just 1-6. I think that Toledo’s experience of winning a close one last year will propel them to the win here. Take Toledo.
