Result:
WIN

The Akron Zips are in a tough spot. They are 5-6 and need to win to become Bowl eligible. One of the issues they are dealing with is uncertainty at QB. They lost their top two QBs last week, and had to finish their game with a running back at QB. It looks like one of the two injured will play tonight. Frank Solich has led Ohio to eight straight winning seasons, and has the Bobcats at 7-4 this season. The Bobcats have played a lot of tight games this season, with 9 of the 11 played decided by 10 or fewer points, and with Akron playing for their Bowl lives, I don't think they are going to run away from this team, no matter who starts at QB for the Zips. Teams that have lost three straight games, and need to win their final game to become Bowl eligible are 12-6 ATS, including 6-1 ATS if a dog of 5.5 points or more. Expect a spirited effort from the Zips tonight, so make the play on Akron.
