Akron at Ohio

January 23, 2026
img8:00 PM Eastern

The Ohio U. Bobcats will host the Akron Zips tonight. Akron has a 15-4 record coming into this game, while the Bobcats are just 11-9. It takes a team that scores to succeed in a dog role like this one. Akron is putting up 93ppg, but Ohio U. is scoring 77ppg on the season. Ohio U. has been good coming off a home game, going 3-1 ATS in that role. Akron will be coming off a road win in this one, and that hasn't worked very well because the last two times they have done that, they have lost. I think Akron is going to deliver something less than their "A" game. I like Ohio U.
