Will update with trends once they're released.  

The Eastern Michigan Eagles have been awful on the road this season where they've lost six straight and lose by an average of 10.8 points and shoot 37.9 percent from the field. The Akron Zips play their best ball at home where they win by an average of 15.4 points, but they've been hit or miss lately and are 5-6 ATS when favored by five or more points. I don't want to back either of these teams, but I'll take the Eastern Michigan Eagles and the points if forced to pick. I don't trust Akron and big numbers.
