Bowling Green money line vs. Akron (-180)
"Akron is not the pushover it used to be, but it's the home finale for the Falcons -- basically their bowl game as they won't make one. I'll be playing a lot of teams simply because of that reason here in the next couple of weeks," SportsLine college football handicapper Matt Severance said. "The reason this is kinda low, I'm guessing, is that BGSU is the only FBS program to start four different QBs this season (due to injuries, etc.). I don't care. It's Akron. On the road."
Over 47.5 points in Bowling Green vs. Akron (-110)
Akron is coming off a 42-35 loss to Kent State last week, which guarantees that the Zips aren't bowl eligible for the eighth consecutive season. However, the offense has scored at least 24 points in seven of nine games since back-to-back shutouts against Wyoming and Nebraska to open the season. Meanwhile, both of these defenses are giving up more than 27 points per game during conference play, and the Over has hit in three of the last four head-to-head meetings between these programs.

Parker Navarro, Sieh Bangura and Duncan Brune have all rushed for at least 400 yards and five touchdowns this season, and the UMass defense has given up 834 yards on the ground in the last three games.
