Akron vs Eastern Michigan: Picks
The Akron Zips haven't won a game since Sept. 9, as they have struggled on both sides of the ball.
A big reason for their struggles is due to quarterback Jeff Undercuffler turning the ball over too much, so take him to throw over 0.5 interceptions. In his last three games, he has had four interceptions and thrown at least one in two of them.
Michigan, meanwhile, will rely heavily on running back Jaylon Jackson. The Eagles offense is primarily a running one, so Jackson will get plenty of carries. Akron also struggles at stopping the run, so Jackson on his 15+ rushing attempts will go over his rushing yards.
Akron vs Eastern Michigan: Head-to-head
The Zips and Eagles have locked horns 34 times, with Akron leading 19-15. The Eagles, though, are on a three-game win streak.
Akron vs Eastern Michigan: Prediction
Both Akron and Michigan have struggled this season, but at home, the Eagles should get the win by at least a touchdown.
The Zips offense has been terrible this season. The Eagles have a good offense, but their problem is their defense. Michigan should score plenty against the Akron defense.
Prediction: Eastern Michigan to win by a touchdown
