3 Ways to Bet on Toledo vs Akron
1. Over Appears to be Top Pick
Akron is coming off a season-high 527 yards in a win over Kent State, the most against a Mid-American Conference team since a 2016 win over Ball State. The Rockets were held to 14 points in the most recent matchup against Akron in 2021 and that might be a more helpful bit of information than what happened versus the MAC cellar-dwelling Kent State Golden Flashes.
