Akron (7:30PM ET Flo Sports) – A busy Feast Week Monday wears on into the evening when the Akron Zips take on the Utah State Aggies in MTE action from the Cayman Islands.
If you watched my preseason previews, you likely know by now how high I am on this Akron team. I went to a handful of MAC games last season, it’s a conference Bryan Power and I discuss all the time and follow closely and I’ve been waiting for a spot to jump in with the Zips after missing out on backing Akron in their first two games (both wins and covers). Akron probably should have covered last night against FIU but got backdoored while Utah State throttled Marshall to create some nice line value in THIS game. No home court for either of these teams (on a neutral floor in the Cayman Islands) but I have Akron as the more skilled, deeper team and I think the Zips are better equipped to win a back-to-back in this spot. Play on Akron -115 for 4% (or 4 units)
