RB Jordon Simmons has rushed for 179 yards on 31 attempts. He’s also rushed for 1 TD this season. WR Adrian Norton leads the team with 236 yards on 12 receptions. He also has 3 TDs this season.

Prediction
Both teams have had their struggles, but the Zips have been significantly worse defensively, so it’s no surprise that they’re heavy underdogs here. Ohio’s offense has been weak, and so has Akron’s, but some of that can be attributed to tough schedules. Still, all four of Zips’ contests this year have gone over, and this is mostly due to their awful defense. We’re targeting the over here, as Akron is allowing 50+ PPG on the road this season.
Final Pick
Over 45.5 (-119)
