Model Predictions
The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates each FBS game 10,000 times, projects the Over 51.5 points as the value side, hitting in 61% of simulations. The model forecasts 54 combined points, citing Akron's defensive struggles (13th in MAC scoring defense) and Ohio's potent offense (second in MAC scoring offense). Akron's offense has reached at least 20 points in two of its last three games, adding to the scoring potential.
The model also indicates one side of the spread hits in well over 50% of simulations, though the specific side is available only via SportsLine. The model entered Week 10 on an 80-77 run on top-rated college football picks.
