Bowling Green Opens MAC Schedule In Akron

The Bowling Green Falcons are 1-3 this season as they get set to play their first MAC game of the season against Akron on Saturday. Bowling Green has yet to beat an FBS opponent this year, with their lone win coming against Fordham in their season opener. The Falcons lost their last game at home to Old Dominion, which was a disappointing result given that they entered that game as a double-digit favorite. If Bowling Green wants to avoid another upset loss this week, they will need to figure out a way to step up on defense, as they have allowed 26 points or more in all three of their games against FBS opponents.

Akron Hoping Return Home Is Helpful

Akron also does not have a win over an FBS opponent going into the Bowling Green vs Akron matchup in the MAC on Saturday. The Zips have gone 1-4 overall to start this year and 0-1 in conference play after losing to Ohio last weekend. Akron has had a horrible time putting points on the board this season, averaging just 10 points per game in their four games against FBS opponents on the year. If the Zips are going to end their losing streak this week, they are going to need to score more against a worthy competitor.

Bowling Green vs Akron Prediction

Bowling Green has not been good so far this season against FBS competition, but the Akron Zips have been on another level of bad to this point in the season. Look for the Falcons to cover the spread in this Bowling Green vs Akron matchup on Saturday, as they should be able to keep Akron from doing much scoring, while the offense of the visiting team should have a breakout game against one of the worst teams at the FBS level in college football.
