Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:Akron +13.5 spread★★★

A dog getting 13.5 that keeps games closer than that

Akron are getting 13.5, and they have stayed inside that number in two of their last six. Western Michigan have won by more than that in only one of their last six. The model has Akron covering by 0.8 points.

The number

A loss by 13 or less still cashes; the bet is that Western Michigan do not run away with it.

The decider

Western Michigan are without Trey Petty at quarterback (out), and a quarterback change moves every number on this page. Neither unit matchup favors Akron on paper, so this is a read on the form and the price rather than the stat sheet.

The context

Akron convert 41% on third down to Western Michigan's 41%.

Situational

Western Michigan are missing Lolo Mataele (RB); Akron are missing Yaseen DeReese (TE), Jaborree Riggins (WR) — worth a notch of caution.

What breaks this

Akron's offense meets a Western Michigan defense that has been average; the edge in that matchup belongs to Western Michigan. Western Michigan have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference.
