Akron favored by 7???? WTF

[LexingtonBrass]

Someone please explain to me how Akron is favored by 7 points over UMass tonight??? Two teams going in completely different directions in my opinion. I have watched Akron play the past two weeks and they seem to struggle to score and are flat out not very good. UMass is a team that has been improving each week and with a high flying, potent offense who has been scoring.

I know these weekday MAC games are highly unpredictable but I see no reason to take UMass tonight + the points. Hell I may even sprinkle something on the ML. UMass wins straight up?

Can someone please tell me I am wrong? Any info here will help. Thx dudes!

I heard UMASS will be playing without their starting QB.

Yeah Frohnapfel was injured pretty good last game. Coach mark whipples son, Austin will likely play. He came in for the 2nd half last game, ALL they did was run the ball.

umass qb out. 2nd string is no good.

 

[BigdaddyQH]

The injury, plus the fact that it is a MAC game should say it all.

It's a MAC game so they will probably convert a WR, RB or TE to QB in a week's time and he will have the game of his life

 

[philly387]

He isn't ruled out yet, will be a game time decision.

I still bet a pizza that UMASS covers the 7.5

The line just jumped from -7 to -9. UMass QB listed as doubtful. From scoresandodds

 

[Kegler]

Akron -8 for the win.

 

[RussellPeters]

Now we know why Akron was -9. UMass done early. As the saying goes..."Rip up your UMass +9 tickets in the 1st Qtr" lol
