Chris’ Pick

I’m backing Ohio here. I think you always have to be concerned when there are teams with little to play for as Ohio has, but Akron has been so bad for much of the season and a lot of these higher-end MAC teams really haven’t looked to take their foot off of the gas down the stretch. I just don’t see Akron being able to hang around here, so give me the Bobcats laying the points.
