Miami-Ohio at Akron: 2/4/22 College Basketball Picks and Prediction

The Zips are averaging 71.9 points per game on 45.2% shooting from the field. They are allowing opponents to score 63.3 points per game. They are shooting 66.2% from the free throw line. 

The Miami Ohio Redhawks are coming off of a 10 point win against Buffalo in their last time out. Mekhi Lairy had a career-high 28 points to lead the Redhawks. Dae Dae Grant added 23 points with six assists and Dalonte Brown had 17 points and eight rebounds for Miami(OH). Precious Ayah added 13 points and seven rebounds in the win.

The Miami Ohio Redhawks are led in scoring by Dae Dae Grant who averages 16.8 points and 3.6 rebounds for this team. Mekhi Lairy averages 13.5 points and 3.2 rebounds a game for this team. Dalonte Brown is the third leading scorer for the Redhawks as he averages 12.4 points a game for this team.

The Redhawks are averaging 76.5 points per game on 44.5% shooting from the field. They are allowing opponents to score 72.4 points per game. They are shooting 77.7% from the free throw line.

Although the RedHawks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games, there is nothing convincing me to lay this many points with Akron. The Zips are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Friday games. The Zips are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. I’ll back the Redhawks in this one.
