Milwaukee vs Akron Prediction 

Akron comes into this matchup after a loss to Yale last time out, but they played a great second half and nearly got the win. The Zips are shooting 51% from the field and they have scored at least 94 points in four of their last five games. Milwaukee has lost three D1 games in a row, with all three coming by at least 17 points. The Panthers have allowed over 81 points against per game this year and they are 0-4 on the road, so I don’t see them keeping this game close. Take Akron to cover.
