OHIO 45
Akron 42

This prediction was made by my brain. My gut is uneasy with it.

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.

A friend, not a member of BA, has sent me his prediction:

OHIO 41
Akron 17

This is the most optimistic prediction I've seen so far.

I've been to way too many homecoming games when we've lost to teams we should have beaten or blown leads. I don't feel solid about this prediction because of that personal history.

Ohio 42
Akron 34
