ROGERS' AFTERNOON FAN APPRECIATION SMACK-DOWN (ONLY $25!)
(NCAAF) Kent State vs. Akron,
Point Spread: -14.50 | -102.00 Kent State (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: I think Kent State will bounce back big here after last week's tough 48-0 loss at Wisconsin. And who better to beat up on the lowly 0-5 Akron? The Zips tried their hardest last week, but ultimately succummbed 37-29 to UMass.
The pick: The Golden Flashes have plenty of skilled players though, so keep your eyes on RB Jo-El Shaw, who has 300 yards rushing and two TD's. WR Isaiah McCoy has 21 catches and and three TD's. Akron averages only 14 PPG and it concedes over 30. The Zips are alos just 1-4 ATS in their last five vs. teams with losing records, while the Zips are 5-1 ATS in their last six after allowing 40 points or more in their previous outing. I'm laying the points and expecting a rout.
8* SMACK-DOWN on Kent State.
