[Little Caesars Bowl Matchup Stats]

Thanks to a surprising upset win over Ohio State late in the season, the Purdue Boilermakers earned bowl eligibility at 6-6 and will take on the Western Michigan Broncos. Western Michigan is making just its fifth bowl appearance all-time, and is 0-4 SU in the previous four.

Western Michigan’s high-powered offense led the Broncos to a solid 7-5 SU and 8-4 ATS campaign. The Broncos finished eighth in the nation in passing with 328.8 passing yards per game and 18th in the nation in scoring with 35.6 points per game. Purdue didn’t have a great year statistically, but managed to earn bowl eligibility without beating a single team over .500. Illinois and Ohio State both finished 6-6; Purdue’s other four wins came against teams with three or less wins.

Western Michigan’s Jordan White finished the regular season with more catches and receiving yards than any other wide receiver in the country. White had 127 catches for 1,646 yards and 16 touchdowns.

The Toledo Rockets are heading to the postseason for the first time in five years and they'll face the Florida International Panthers, who will be small 1.5-point underdogs in their first ever appearance in a bowl game.

Little Caesars Bowl
Sunday, December 26 @ 8:30pm ET
Ford Field, Detroit, Michigan

Team: Toledo Rockets
Conference: Mid-American Conference
Records: 8-4 SU, 7-5 ATS, 7-5 OU

Team: Florida International Golden Panthers
Conference: Sun Belt Conference
Records: 6-6 SU, 6-6 ATS, 5-7 OU

Spread / Total (from SBG Global)
Toledo -1.5 / 56 Points

[Little Caesars Bowl Matchup Stats]

Toledo came back under second-year coach Tim Beckman to finish second in the West Division of the Mid-American Conference, after the team racked up 16 losses in the past three seasons.  Three of the team’s losses during the year also came against teams playing in bowl games.

The Rockets finished the college football betting season with a 5-1 SU record, and covered the spread in three of their last four games. The small 1.5-point spread on the Little Caesars Bowl odds should draw attention from college football betting loyalists.

Terrance Owens has fit in nicely since the injury to starting QB Austin Dantin in October, throwing 12 touchdowns and just two interceptions. Turnovers can cost any team and it comes down to the big game; Toledo was atop the nation with 33 forced turnovers. If the Golden Panthers can hang on to the ball, they have a chance.

A share of the Sun Belt Conference propelled Florida International into the postseason for the first time in the school's history in FBS play. The Golden Panthers and Toledo split their last two head-to-head, with the Rockets taking a 41-31 victory last season.

En route to a six-win season the Golden Panthers averaged 38 points a game in winning four of their final five contests. The offense will depend on junior running back Darriet Perry, who rushed for 707 yards and 14 scores, while sophomore Darrian Mallary (669 yards rushing and two touchdowns) completes the running game.

With an output of 73 points in their last encounter, and the NCAAF odds set for 56 on the totals line for this bowl game, it could make for a smart wager for OVER bettors.
