Akron vs Bowling Green Prediction

It feels weird laying points with a Bowling Green side that’s lost four straight games and has arguably the worst offense in college football. However, let’s not act like Akron is lighting the world on fire. Akron is a bad team on both sides of the ball, and 1-4 SU on the road. This is senior night for Bowling Green, a roster that has 27 seniors, so if there was a game where the Falcons give one last effort, it’s here. Now, Bowling Green has outright lost 5 of its last 8 home games as a favorite, so tread carefully. Still, I like Bowling Green by a touchdown in a battle of two terrible teams.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Bowling Green -3.5
