The college football world sees more action on Tuesday night as the Eastern Michigan Eagles will travel to Akron and take on the Akron Zips.
Although both teams have struggled to end during the season, that doesn’t mean we can’t make some money from betting on them.
Akron will be coming into this game losing their last eight games, and it’s been a major call for concern.
If the college football injuries continue to catch up on them, their season will be as good as over, and they might not win another game all season long.
Let’s break down our Eastern Michigan vs Akron betting and give you the best selection of the night.
Last Game Records
Akron Game Records
Akron will be coming into this game after another disappointing loss last Saturday. Miami, Ohio was able to come away with a 27-9 win as Akron once again wasn’t able to get anything going on the offensive side of the football.
They have had games throughout the year where their offense is really good, but this wasn’t one of them.
Eastern Michigan Game Records
Eastern Michigan, on the other hand, is also coming off a disappointing 27-24 loss against Toledo. They weren’t able to get anything going in the fourth quarter, as Toledo scored 10 points to win the game.
Both teams have an impressive NCAAF schedule this season, so it makes sense why they aren’t necessarily playing too well.
Eastern Michigan Eagles vs. Akron Zips
Eastern Michigan Eagles vs. Akron Zips Betting Analysis
Eastern Michigan
Eastern Michigan is an above-average team when we look at what they’ve been able to do this season. The Eastern Michigan stats currently see them at 5-4 on the season, and they have some impressive wins.
They even beat Arizona State at the beginning of the season. What the team does well when they’re winning games at an elite level is playing defense at a high level.
If they can come out and continue doing what they’ve done on the defensive side of the ball for a few of their games this season, Akron will have a tough time scoring any sort of points.
Eastern Michigan Disappointing Game
Their most recent game against Toledo was disappointing, as Eastern Michigan had a chance to make their record 6-3 on the year and put themselves in a good position in the conference.
However, that game is behind them now, and they need to worry about their next NCAAF matchups.
Akron
Akron has simply been a bad team this season, and it doesn’t look like that will change anytime soon.
Although the Akron football schedule has been tough as they’ve taken on Michigan State, Tennessee, and Liberty, this team should be much better.
However, when we look at the games outside of those losses, they have typically competed in them. They lost by three points against Bowling Green, seven points against Central Michigan, and six points against Kent State.
This means when they come out and do what they’re supposed to do, they can typically compete with some of the better teams in the conference.
They still have work that they’re going to need to do, and that’s going to be what they can do offensively.
They have games where they can come out and score 21 plus points and others where they get shut down and don’t even score 15.
This is certainly something that we have to think about with our Eastern Michigan vs Akron betting.
NCAAF Injury Report

They’re only one game behind the first-place Toledo Rockets, and if they can come out and win this game just as they should against a below-average Akron team, this is a great spot for them.
Who to Bet On?
They have shown the ability throughout the year to play above-average football when they’re on their game, and that’s where we’re going to be going with.
Considering that they’ve beaten teams like Arizona State and UMass throughout the year, we can expect that they’re going to continue playing above-average football when it matters most.
There are only three games left on their schedule, including this one and all of them are a must-win from here on out.
