This will be the third meeting between the Zips and the Golden Flashes. The Flashes won both of the first two meetings by an average of seven PPG. They are 13-0 SU and 11-1-1 ATS in their last 13 games. The Flashes defense should be the difference. They teams are similar offensively but the Flashes are far better defensively. I am surprised that they are laying only one point in this game.

Akron just beat Toledo and Buffalo as an underdog. Today’s championship price is lower than both of those games, and Kent State is the best team in the MAC. The Zips have regrouped to win seven straight (6-1 ATS) after a three-game losing streak as a big favorite in early February. The Golden Flashes won and covered both meetings this season, and the last four meetings have stayed under the total. Kent State has won 14 straight (12-2 ATS). I’m on the momentum of Kent State.
