Akron at Bowling Green

Akron is 4-2 UNDER the total this season with a strong defense allowing 14, 14 and 21 points. Throw out an opening day loss to Oklahoma and for the season the Zips are allowing 16.4 points per game the last five contests. The Akron offense is not strong behind center, with three QBs combining for just eight TDs, and four picks while completing 51.8%, 28.6% and 36% of their passes. The Zips are on a 27-10 run UNDER the total, and 19-7 UNDER in MAC contests and 15-4 UNDER on the road. They head to a Bowling Green team that opened the season scoring a lot of points so oddsmakers have adjusted, and now the Falcons are on a 2-1 run UNDER the total. Bowling Green is 7-3 UNDER in MAC games. The Falcons come off a 62-point effort against overmatched UMass, but the UNDER is 26-12 after they accumulate more than 450 total yards in their previous game. Last year's meeting also had a high total, but it sailed way UNDER in a 27-10 Bowling Green win (6-3 at the half) as both teams had under 400 yards. Akron was 6-of-20 on third down, while the Falcons were 4-of-18. Play this one UNDER the total.
