The Zips are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Friday games and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. The Chippewas are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. I think Akron wins this one but this feels like too many points to lay with the Zips so I’ll back CMU here.
