Both offenses are in good form. Toledo is averaging 44.7 points in its last four games. Central Michigan is averaging 40 points during its last two home games. Those matchups were against Buffalo and Northern Illinois.

Toledo has a strong rushing attack headed by a now healthy Kareem Hunt, probably the Mid-American Conference's top running back. The Rockets have rushed for 238 or more yards in each of their last five games. They have excellent running back depth behind Hunt.

Central Michigan allowed both Western Michigan and Northern Illinois to each rush for more than 200 yards against them.

The Chippewas' strength is quarterback Cooper Rush and a deep set of wider receivers. Central Michigan averages nearly 300 yards passing per game. Rush is completing 69 percent of his throws with just eight interceptions in 335 attempts. He has 14 touchdown passes in his last five games.

The Rockets have surrendered six touchdown passes in their last two games. Northern Illinois averaged 17.3 yards per pass completion in knocking off Toledo last week. The Rockets have faced a number of weak passing offenses in the conference. So I see their secondary being quite vulnerable to Rush.

Note that the winning team in this series has scored at least 38 points during each of the previous six games.
