Result: Win
Taking AKRON here. Yes. Bowling Green a perfect 8-0 SU the last 8 in this series and are now a FG home dog. Why is that? Maybe because this Falcons team is a shell of those squads that went to 3 straight MAC Championships 2013-14-15. Forget that fact that for the entire season, they have led exactly 1 game, 3-0 over Michigan State for almost 2 entire minutes before falling behind. And now, 28 day after that Sept. 2 game, are still looking for any lead in a game. They switched QBs going with true freshman last week. Maybe he fares better at home. But the Zips bring a SR. QB looking for revenge. How about this tid bit. Last week, on 29 attempts, BG rushed for 1 yard. ONE YARD. Mid Ten went for 249. Zips have a guy off of Ohio State's bench who has 2 100 yard games already. BG defense is ranked 126th in yards allowed per game, 119 against the rush. No shame in losing 35-10 to Michigan State on the road. But what about dropping a 35-27 game at home as a fave over South Dakota. A game they were down 28-9 in. A game that was in hand before some garbage scores. Again, getting smoked by Northwestern 49-7 on the road in Big 10 country is fine. We mentioned the Mid Ten State loss already. This is not a good team. Zips are not a great team. But I think they are more talented and experienced (15 returning starters) at this time. 4* Money Maker AKRON ZIPS
