Akron Looks to Avoid 0-3 Start In the MAC
The Akron Zips are 1-5 this season overall and 0-2 in the MAC. They played a tight game last week against the Bowling Green Falcons, but fell short in a 27-20 defeat at home in that contest. This week, the Zips are back on the road, where they have not been competitive at all yet this year. After getting blown out by Ohio State, Rutgers, and South Carolina away from home in non-conference play, Akron lost to Ohio by 20 points in their first MAC game of the season. Unless Akron can find a way to get some stops on the road for the first time this season, they could suffer another sizable defeat away from home in this matchup.
Western Michigan Hoping to Get Back to .500
The Western Michigan Broncos are 2-3 overall this season and 1-0 in the MAC after winning their conference opener against Ball State last weekend. Defense was hard to come by for both teams in that game, as Western Michigan won by just a field goal despite putting up 45 points. This week, Western Michigan will expect to win with more margin against the lowly Akron Zips, but that may not happen if the defense of the Broncos doesn't play noticeably better football than they did a week ago.
Akron vs Western Michigan Best Bet
In this Akron vs Western Michigan matchup, our top pick is for the Western Michigan Broncos to cover the spread at home. Akron's streak of double-digit losses on the road should continue here, as there is no reason to believe that they will elevate their level of play away from the state of Ohio. We will gladly lay the points with a Western team that should be able to score into or near the 40s for the second week in a row.
