Akron has shown plenty of fight as a big underdog. They lost 24-21 at Temple as a +9.5 dog and 29-27 at Indiana as a +26 dog. Central Michigan is 1-1 in the MAC after losing the last game to Buffalo as a favorite, 37-13. In the previous contest, they were a double-digit favorite over Eastern Michigan but won just 26-23. They were also a 7-point favorite at home over New Hampshire and squeezed out a 45-42 win allowing 538 yards (493 passing). On offense, sophomore QB Jase Bauer (4 TDs, 4 picks) and freshman QB Bert Emanuel Jr. (3 TDs, 3 picks) have as many touchdowns as interceptions. Central Michigan is on a 4-10 spread run overall, as well as 1-8 ATS in October games. These teams played a 28-21 game a year ago and this shapes up as another close one. Go Max Play on Akron.
