Tuesday's Best College Football Picks: Ohio vs. Akron

It’s MACtion Tuesday. We’ve got two exciting MAC football games tonight. I’ll break down both games and provide a pick for each matchup below. Enjoy these college football picks for tonight’s games. 

Ohio Bobcats at Akron Zips

The Ohio Bobcats have been cruising through the MAC this season. Most recently, the Bobcats beat Eastern Michigan 24-20 at home to extend their winning streak to five.

Tonight, they’ll face an Akron squad that hasn’t won a conference game. They sit 0-4 in conference play and 1-7 overall. They’ve scored just 152 points all season. In conference play, the Zips have scored only 74 points while allowing 135.

This game is a major mismatch. That said, Akron has played three road games to begin conference play. The one home game was a 25-23 loss to Eastern Michigan. Akron should ultimately compete in this game. The Zips still average over 215 passing yards per game and 5.4 yards per play. The run defense is also the team’s best unit. If they can keep Ohio from getting big runs, things might turn in their favor.

I’ll take Akron +14.

Pick: Akron +14 (-108)
