TOM STRYKER’S FREE FOOTBALL SELECTION FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4TH
#341 BOWLING GREEN (-15′) over Akron at 3:30 PM EST on Saturday
Off three consecutive losses to Penn State, Texas A&M, and Old Dominion by a grand total of 16 points, Bowling Green will have no trouble extending the margin when it steps down in class and battles this soft 1-4 SU Akron squad. The Zips dropped their last two games to the Gamecocks and Bobcats by the combined score of 80-17 and they will be in trouble here once again.
A quick glance at the History Book shows that BGSU has dominated this series lately inking a strong 12-3 SU and 11-4 ATS mark in the last 15 meetings. Equally impressive, since the start of the 2010 regular season, MAC road favorites that check in without confidence off a straight up loss hold a remarkable 67-12 SU and 56-22-1 ATS record provided they are lined up against a conference foe that arrives without confidence off a straight up loss. If our “play on” side is tackling a foe that was on the road last, this technical situation tightens up to a solid 50-17-1 ATS including a phenomenal 31-9 ATS if they are laying -5.5 or more. That bodes well for the Falcons.
On a rough 10-58 SU and 24-40 ATS run in its last 68 games, Akron continues to have all kinds of issues on the football field. In this run busting in off a road war, the Zips fall to a weak 5-29 SU and 11-21 ATS in their previous 34 battles including 4-27 SU and 8-21 ATS provided UA enters without momentum off a straight up loss. Also, when priced as a double-digit underdog and arriving off a road game, head coach Joe Moorhead and his crew own a timid 4-43 SU and 17-30 ATS tally including just 3-34 SU and 12-25 ATS provided they are grabbing +13 or more.
With a chance to pick up their 300th MAC win, seasoned quarterback Connor Bazelak will have no trouble lighting up a Zips stop unit that is allowing an average of 40.2 points and 430.2 yards per game this year. Take Bowling Green. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
