The Akron Zips have been just about the worst program in the country since the start of the 2019 season. The Zips carry the baggage of an 8-52 SU record over the period. While those kind of numbers will keep bettors away from them, you usually have to pay a bit extra to bet against them. That has been the case with this team. The Zips are 15-12 ATS in their last 27, despite winning just eight of their last 60 games. Western Michigan looks like a team that will be down this season. The Broncos are just 1-4 against FBS opponents to start the season, and allowing close to 40 PPG. This line is tilted toward Western Michigan, and another good opportunity for Akron to get another cover. Make the play on Akron.
