The Sports Bowl alludes to an upset as the Toledo Rockets could just pull the rug from underneath the Pittsburgh Panthers. While the Rockets are underdogs on the NCAAF odds, Pittsburgh has significant injuries and transfer portal concerns. The team’s starting quarterback may not even play and there is the question of how motivated this team is.
Still, the Panthers are the better team as we break it down for our college football picks today.

4 Best Pittsburgh vs Toledo Bets for Sports Bowl
1. Pittsburgh Panthers ML (-260)
Losers of five straight with an injured quarterback at the helm, Pittsburgh is tough to bet at this online sports betting line. Nate Yarnell entered the transfer portal and is unlikely to play while Eli Holstein has not played in a month. But Pittsburgh has a better offense than Toledo and has played better competition.
The Rockets had one of the easiest schedules and still went 4-4 in conference play. They’ve also lost three of their last five games. Maybe they will be more motivated to win this game. Playing in Ford Field is also almost like a home game for them, but we can’t pull the trigger on Toledo as Pittsburgh is still a run above. Bet on Pittsburgh to win but be cautious.
Bet This Pick: Pittsburgh Panthers (-265)
2. Toledo Rockets +7 (-110)
But we will take Toledo to cover as an underdog in our college football best bets. The Panthers have been fairly reliable against the spread (ATS). But given its current form, the edge is with Toledo.
Per Pittsburgh vs Toledo betting tips, the Rockets are also 6-1 ATS as an underdog going back to previous seasons. It’s even outright won both of its games as a dog this year.
The Rockets also have a defense that can hold its own. They held Mississippi State to 17 points and Northern Illinois to a field goal in their stadiums. The most Toledo has given up is 41 points in a write-off against Bowling Green. If the defense falters, the offense has put up 21+ in seven of its 11 games in the FBS. Toledo covers the NCAAF spread.
Bet This Pick: Toledo Rockets +7 (-110)

3. Pittsburgh to Win By 1-6 Points (+350)
If we’re sticking with a Pittsburgh win but a Toledo cover, a Pittsburgh win by 1-6 points makes sense as an NCAAF prediction. Four of Toledo’s last seven contests were decided by seven points or fewer. Three of its losses by double figures are damning. But Pittsburgh is not in the condition to blow this team out.
Pittsburgh’s shakiness at quarterback will make it hard to get going. The defense must overcome all its losses and return to its early-season form, which held FBS opponents to an average of 22.8 points. Toledo averages 26.7 points but against lower comp. This one will be close. Bet the prop.
Bet This Pick: Pittsburgh to Win by 1-6 Points (+350)
4. Pittsburgh vs Toledo Under 51
Despite Pittsburgh’s disintegrating defense, we’re betting against the total here. We won’t see more than 50 points scored in this game. Pittsburgh’s offense is in shambles, which is how we successfully faded it against teams like Virginia. Toledo’s defense only allows 21.4 points and under five yards per play.
The way Pittsburgh has played makes them just a bit better than the scrubs the Rockets faced. Even if the Panthers get positive news by way of its star players suiting up, this one goes under the total in NCAAF picks and predictions.
Bet This Pick: Pittsburgh vs Toledo Under 51
