Akron vs. Bowling Green Picks
Point Spread Pick for Akron vs. Bowling Green
- Akron Zips+4 (4 Units)
The Zips have won two of their last three games, while the Falcons have lost four straight games. Akron has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, averaging more than 30 points per game in their last three games. They threw the ball well during that stretch, and they’re facing a team that struggled against the pass in recent games, so expect them to air it out against this defense.
The Falcons will have a hard time keeping up with the Zips because they’re not very good offensively, and they played worse in recent games, averaging 15 points per game in their last three games. They have one of the worst passing games in the country, but they’ve been able to run it. The Zips don’t have to worry about the Falcons beating them through the air, which will allow them to stack the box and slow down their ground game. Go with Akron to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Akron vs. Bowling Green
- Under 47.5 (4 Units)
The Falcons played under the total in their last four games. Bowling Green averages 18.5 points per game.

They throw the ball 51 percent of the time with the 75th-ranked passing attack in the country, and they’re facing a team that is 51st against the pass and is giving up 22.8 points per game at home. Don’t expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total. The Falcons and Zips played under the total in six of their last nine meetings.
