My pick was Ohio 52-41. The oddsmakers have the over/under at 60 with a spread of 11.5, so they expect about the same margin I expect, but a lower score, at 36-24.
I'll take 35-27. That's not too far from the odds. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? When Akron has the ball we may be watching the opposite of that question. What happens when an offense averaging 15 plays a defense giving up 42? Bowling Green is giving up 41.6 and Akron managed 28 against them. They also got 30 on St. Francis who is a 3-2 FCS team with all 3 wins against teams that are winless. They average 6 points in their other 3 games which were against much better defense in Tennessee, Michigan St. and Liberty.
