T.M. Selection: Bowling Green.

The Falcons are catching too many points here. Bowling Green won 7 of last 10 regular season games and the largest margin of the 3 losses was 7 points. Now the markets have pushed this line up to a dozen points and it is simply too much. All the pressure is on Akron to perform here after their huge regular season including 17-1 in the MAC. When these teams met in the regular season the Zips won by only a 3-point margin! Akron finished the regular season with a blowout win over Buffalo but their 6 games leading into that one (5-1 SU) did not feature a single win by more than 10 points. Look for a much closer finish here than most are expecting.

T.M. Prediction: 77-73 Akron
