Ohio Bobcats vs Akron Zips Predictions

Ohio vs. Akron odds

Ohio is a 14-point road favorite at Akron on Tuesday night. The Bobcats are -575 on the moneyline, the Zips are +425, and the total is 51.5. The over is -102 and the under is -118.

Ohio's winning streak meets Akron's slide

LineSmart, a college football odds and game-data site, lists Ohio at 6-2 with five straight wins. Akron is 1-7 after six consecutive losses. Both teams recently faced Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan and Kent State; Ohio beat all three, while Akron lost to all three. Those results make Ohio the more likely winner.

The game is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET at InfoCision Stadium. Ohio is 2-2 on the road, and Akron is 1-2 at home. LineSmart forecasts mostly clear conditions, a temperature near 63 degrees and light wind, so weather doesn't provide a clear reason to bet the total.

Why the bet is a pass

The recent results support Ohio to win, but they don't show that the Bobcats should cover 14 points. No current injury information, confirmed starters or season statistics are available to assess the likely margin. The -575 moneyline also asks bettors to pay a steep price for a road favorite. Ohio is the pick to win, but the wager is a pass.
