Ohio at Akron

Ohio comes into this one at 1-4 ATS on the road. They've scored just 14 points per game away from home and are now 1-8 ATS on the road over the past two seasons. Akron has been nothing to write home about this season either. They've lost five of their last six ATS. But, they are in a good situation here. Home teams that have failed to cover the spread in 3 out of their last 4 games facing an opponent after covering the spread in 3 out of their last 4 games are 65-32 (67%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. My statistical projections have Akron having some decent success on offense. While Akron has struggled as a big favorite, they are good as a small favorite or dog. They are 4-2 as a favorite of 3 or less or an underdog. One star on Akron.
