Akron +5½ over Wyoming

InfoCision Stadium – Akron, OH

7:00 PM ET. Akron is ineligible for a bowl, and the market has overreacted by writing them off. In reality, that ban might fuel them. With nothing to lose, Joe Moorhead’s crew can fully embrace the spoiler role.

Wyoming? They were favored twice last year and lost both outright. Asking them to spot road points in Week 1 is reckless.

Akron has stability at QB with Ben Finley, a sixth-year senior who posted 16 TDs last year — the most for the Zips since 2016. Down the stretch, Akron went 4-1 ATS with outright wins over Toledo and Eastern Michigan. That wasn’t fluke; that was growth.

Here is a wager we were paid out early on that would eventually lose.
