AFTERNOON SIDE SPECIAL (5-2 LAST SATURDAY!)
(NCAAF) Akron vs. Michigan State, 09/10/2022 4:00 PM, Score: 0 - 52
Point Spread: 34.50 | -109.00 Akron (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SPECIAL on Akron.

Akron is off a 30-23 overtime win over FCS Opponent St. Francis, while Michigan State looked anything but impressive in its victory over Western Michigan in Week 1.

DJ Irons looked decent in Akron's win with 286 passing yards and two touchdowns. Shocky Jacques-Louis had eight catches for 122 yards.

Michigan State beat WMU 35-13. Payton Thorne finished with 233 passing yards, four touchdowns and an interception.

The Spartans looked great at times last week, and really poor in others. With a game at Maryland, followed by a game against Ohio State on the horizon, I believe this Week 3 contest sets up as a "trap" for the Spartans.

Am I calling for an outright victory?! Of course not!

But after going up big in the first half, look for Akron to pass its way back into this one in the second with a comfortable back-door cover.

Grab the points, the play is AKRON.

Good luck, NP
