Akron -5.5 vs. Kent State (-112)
The Zips have already matched their win total from last season after a dominant 44-10 win over UMass brought their record to 4-6. Now Joe Moorhead has a chance to take the program to a bowl game for the first time since 2017 with wins over Kent State and Bowling Green in the next two weeks. Joe Gant ran for 153 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Minutemen and he now leads the conference in rushing yards (850). He'll be a tough matchup for a Kent State run defense allowing 189.3 rushing yards per game this season. Akron covers in 55% of the model's simulations.
Under 46.5 points in Akron vs. Kent State (-110)
While Akron has made clear improvements as a program under Moorhead, don't let last week's outcome fool you. UMass is arguably the worst team in college football and Akron hadn't previously scored more than 28 points against an FBS opponent while being held to 7 or fewer on four occasions. Kent State has also only scored more than 28 points in a game this season against UMass and was held to 13 points in a loss to Ball State last week. It was the fifth time the Golden Flashes have scored 14 or fewer. The model predicts that Under 47.5 hits in 59% of simulations.

There are four teams in the MAC standings with a 4-1 record in conference play and two of them will be going head-to-head here in Kalamazoo. These two programs didn't meet last year, but the Bobcats did manage victories in 2022 and 2023 and are the defending conference champions. They're riding high coming off a crucial win over Miami (OH) last week to vault back to the top of the league and the model has Ohio winning in 72% of simulations.
