Akron (-12) for 2.5 Units

The home team in this series sports an impressive 9-1 ATS mark and we're not going to fade that trend here. The Zips have beaten the Eagles in Akron's Rhodes arena by an average margin of 16 ppg (at least by 12 points in each). Akron toyed with Toledo at home Saturday winning but not covering the big spread. We're going to look for the Zips to come out smoking here; after all, Akron is 38-14-3 ATS following an ATS loss,5-2 ATS on Mondays, and 5-0 ATS at home vs EM. EM has trouble defending on the road (allow 75 ppg); moreover, they're offensively challenged as a team in the lower tier in scoring in the MAC. With the Eagles at 1-5 ATS on the road vs a home team with a win % above .600, we'll look for the Zips to choke them out here.
