In this Akron vs South Carolina preview, find out which bet we like the most for what could be a lopsided non-conference matchup from SEC country.
Akron Returns to FBS Competition
Last week, the Akron Zips got their first win of the college football season, beating FCS Colgate 31-20 at home. While it was nice for Akron to get into the win column for the first time this season, they are likely in for a tough time this week against South Carolina. The Zips have played two power conference opponents already this season and have lost those two games by a combined margin of 101-23 against Rutgers and Ohio State. Akron is likely to be overmatched on both sides of this Akron vs South Carolina matchup just as they were in those two games.
Great "Get Right" Spot For South Carolina
The South Carolina Gamecocks lost for the first time this season last week, dropping a tight game to the LSU Tigers. Still, the Gamecocks are 2-1 for the year and 1-1 in SEC play, which is not a bad place to be. This weekend's game against Akron is a perfect chance to get back on the right track before playing tougher competition in the near future. Expect the defense of South Carolina to bounce back in this matchup, as they had allowed 12.5 points per game before allowing 36 points to LSU last week.
Akron vs South Carolina Best Bet
There is virtually no chance that Akron wins this weekend's Akron vs South Carolina matchup. The only question will be what the margin of victory will be for the Gamecocks here. We expect South Carolina to win this game by at least 30 points, so we will be laying the points with the team from the SEC as they should bounce back nicely from their heartbreaking loss at the hands of LSU.
