The Akron Zips may be just 4-7 straight up this year, but they do have a winning 6-5 mark against the spread and they get the call to handle the Central Michigan Chippewas at home in this early Friday kickoff.

Believe it or not, the Zips have played just three home games this season and they are 2-1 both SU and ATS in those games. The last time they played here, they were underdogs of less than a field goal exactly as they are here, and they responded with a 48-37 triumph over the Ohio Bobcats.

The Chippewas are 6-5, but they are actually allowing more points per game (38.5) than they are scoring (33.5) this season, which is not a trait you’d like to see in a road favorite. Comparatively, Akron is allowing about 10 points less per contest at 28.6. Furthermore, Central Michigan is probably still reeling from a 48-45 home loss to lowly Eastern Michigan as a 14-point favorite last week.

Akron is playing with double revenge here after losing to CMU each of the last two seasons, and we look for the Zips to get their revenge here.

This Thursday afternoon the bet is on the Akron Zips…
