Bet College Football – Little Caesars Bowl – Florida International vs. Toledo. The Little Caesars Bowl on Sunday, December 26th should be a competitive game between Florida International and Toledo so gamblers making a college football bet face a tough choice. Toledo is a 2-point favorite in NCAA betting at SBG with the total on the game listed at 56.
Advantage to Toledo
This game that can be seen on ESPN will take place at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan and that gives an edge to Toledo. They should get some fans that make the trip while Florida International won’t get many. Florida International is not real thrilled having to travel to Detroit anyway as they would have preferred to stay in Florida for a bowl game. Florida International is making their first appearance in a bowl game and that is another negative. Toledo was 56th in the country in offense and 71st on defense. They come into this game having won five of their last six. FIU was 53rd on offense and 65th on defense this season. Florida International has won four of their last five games overall. The Golden Panthers are a nice story but playing so far from home in their first bowl game may be more than they can handle.
Best Season Ever for FIU
This was the best season ever for Florida International. Head coach Mario Cristobal did a nice job and FIU is in a bowl game for the first time ever. Florida International has a good defense and they are going to need it against Toledo’s offense.
Special Teams
Normally when you look at a game and bet college football you don’t give much attention to special teams. In this game you definitely want to take special teams into consideration because Toledo has Eric Page who was the MAC Special Teams Player of the Year. He led the nation with three kick returns for TDs.
