The Akron Zips are in Buffalo tonight, and their offense hasn't inspired a lot of confidence in recent weeks. Buffalo is a home underdog here, and it's offense has also struggled during a four game losing streak. I expect to see another low scoring game in the MAC tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Quarterbacks - Joe Licata was 9-of-20 for just 74 yards with a TD and an INT in the loss to Ohio last week. Kyle Pohl had little trouble moving the ball for the Zips last week, but while he threw for 302 yards, he was picked off three times without throwing a touchdown pass.

2. Weather - The conditions in Buffalo should be a little less than ideal, with wind and rain forecast for Tuesday night.

3. X-Factor - Five of the last seven meetings between these two teams have gone under the total, and tonight's number is much higher than it has been recent meetings.

Selection: This is a play on AKR@BUF to go under the total (8*)
