Bowling Green at Akron 12/5/20 - NCAA Football Picks & Predictions

The Bowling Green Falcons are set to visit InfoCision Stadium in Akron, Ohio for a MAC clash against the Akron Zips. The Bowling Green Falcons come into this matchup with a 0-4 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Ohio Bobcats, 52-10. QB Matt McDonald struggled to get any offense generated through the air for Bowling Green as he threw for 125 yards, 1 TD, and 3 interceptions. RB Andrew Clair had a big game on the ground for the Falcons as he ran for 118 yards on 15 carries.

The Bowling Green Falcons struggled on the defensive side of the ball against the Ohio Bobcats as they allowed them to score 52 points and rack up a total of 436 yards of offense. LB Darren Anders led the way for the Bowling Green defense with 13 tackles and 1 TFL. The Falcons were able to get into the Ohio backfield a handful of times as DL Anthony Hawkins, DB Patrick Day, and Freshman DL Jordan Porter all had a TFL.

The Akron Zips come into this matchup with a 0-4 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent home game against the Miami (OH) RedHawks, 38-7. QB Zach Gibson struggled to get much offense generated against Miami (OH) as he threw for 141 yards, 1 TD, and 1 interception. RB Teon Dollard was unable to find much running room against the RedHawks defense as he only compiled 22 yards on 13 carries.

The Akron Zips struggled on the defensive side of the ball against the Miami (OH) RedHawks as they allowed them to score 31 points and rack up a total of 416 yards of offense. LB Bubba Arslanian led the way for the Akron defense with 11 tackles. The Zips were able to get into the Miami (OH) backfield a handful of times as LB Quevan Lawson, LB Julian Richardson, and DL Eric Bentley all recorded a TFL.

This is the battle of two of the worse teams in college football as Akron and Bowling Green have been blown out on a continuous basis, but the Zips have shown more flashes of a winning team. The Zips have found a bright spot in their run game with RB Teon Dollard as he has compiled 456 yards and 4 TDs through 4 games, and he should find success against a Bowling Green defense that gave up 355 rushing yards last week. The Zips have really struggled on the defensive side of the ball which was evident against Kent State, but Bowling Green has shown no signs of life on the offensive side of the ball as Matt McDonald has thrown 1 TD to 6 interceptions thus far. Final Score Prediction, Akron Zips win and cover ATS 38-32.
