AAA's 10* MAC OPENING ROUND BEATDOWN (+$2,892 Y-T-D NCAAB!)
(NCAAB) Northern Illinois vs. Akron,
Point Spread: -6.50 | -104.00 Akron (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* BEATDOWN on Akron.

The 14-15 Northern Illinois Huskies are ready to battle the 18-13 Akron Zips. NIU has won four straight has has five players averaging at least 8.1 points. Akron on the other hand comes in having lost six of its last seven and has four players averaging at least 5.8 points. The postseason is a whole new ball game, I think Akron will be the "hungrier" team here. NIU averages 65.5 points per game and is giving up 66.3, while Akron averages 68.1 points and allows 64.5. These two teams are pretty evenly matched, but the Zips play with revenge after dropping the regular season meeting with the Huskies, both SU and ATS; I also don't think that home court advantage can be overlooked, note that Akron is 7-2 ATS in its last nine in front of the home town crowd, also 6-2 ATS off a loss vs. a conference rival. In my opinion, the spread should be a little larger, play on AKRON.
