Wednesday, November 20, 2019—108 Miami (Ohio) -30½ +102 (Pinnacle)
7:30 pm EST/4:30 pm PST—(ESPNU)—Akron scores like it hurts and Miami (Ohio) just pounded Bowling Green, 44-3 in midweek MACtion in Week 12, so the huge opening Point Spread here for this
Wednesday night MAC East Division meeting in NCAAF Week 13 between Akron and Miami (Ohio) at Yager Field (FieldTurf) in Oxford is justified and the biggest number the RedHawks have been favored by in well over a decade and since they were nicknamed the Redskins.
The series Trends show Miami (5-1 MAC) is 1-3 ATS the L4 overall and 0-3 ATS he L3 here at Home although last year at Akron, Miami rolled to a 41-3 victory, easily covering ATS as 4-point Road underdogs. And this year’s meeting should end up being more like 2018 than the previous two dozen, including in 1995 when Miami won 65-0. The RedHawks are 18-9-1 SU lifetime vs the Zips (0-10 in MAC) and have W2 straight according to
Winsipedia.
Akron is 2-16 ATS its L18 following a SU Loss.
Miami—The Cradle of Coaches—is atop the East Division and having one of its best seasons in years with QB Brett Gabbert (1,734 yards, 9 TD/6 INT) and the Red Hawks went 7-1 ATS in MAC play last year and will likely play Western Michigan (7-4, 5-2 MAC) or Central Michigan (7-4, 5-2 MAC) in the
MAC Championship Game on Saturday, Dec. 5 at Ford Field in Detroit (ESPN).
No team in FBS has scored fewer points than King Rat Akron (10.6 ppg)
or scored fewer TDs (13) and the Zips have put up 3-20-24-7-29-3-0-0-6-14 in
10 straight SU and ATS Losses and have L15 SU overall dating back to last season. In its last MACtion, host Akron was defeated by Eastern Michigan, 42-14, failing to cover as big 17-point Dogs despite scoring more points than their L4 games combined.
Ay Dios mio! mis Cremalleras.
Expect Redhawk RBs Jaylon Bester (436/9/4.5 ypc) and Tyre Shelton (376/1/5.4) to have big Rushing nights for the homeboys with Gabbert likely to find WRs Jalen Walker (16/248/2/21.8 ypc), James Maye (24.6 ypc), Dominique Robinson (21.1 ypc) and Jack Sorenson (2 TDs) as well as TE Andrew Homer 2 TDs) to be open much of the night and to inflate their mediocre numbers. A bomb to Walker for a TD to start the game makes much Earthly sense.
This is a strict Akron Fade, trying to get the best number as early as possible thinking that nobody will want to back the Zips Monday-Wednesday. It could be Cold in Oxford on Hump Day evening, with TWC forecasting Cloudy and Humid (96%) conditions with a Low of 38° and light SSE Winds around 6 mph. Akron has been down 21-0 (EM), 21-0 (NIU), 21-6 (BG), 7-0 (BUF), 17-3 (KENT) at Halftime its L5 games,
being outscored 87-9 in the process, scoring 0 TDs over that span in the first 30 minutes. The same as us here. That’s not good.
