Why Akron can cover

Akron is coming off its best performance of the season in last week's 38-17 win over Kent State. The Zips dominated from start to finish and were dominant on the ground. Akron had two players rush for over 100 yards and totaled 277 rushing yards as a team in the victory.

Akron has a talented quarterback in transfer Ben Finley. The junior signal caller spent time at both NC State and Cal before landing at Akron, and he has the ability to guide the Zips to a surprising upset on Tuesday night. For the season, Finley has 2,410 passing yards, 14 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions. See which team to pick here.
