    Central Michigan(-2.5) vs Akron

    I'm lovin this 4 straight days of good football. Thursday and Friday classes have taken a back seat, and I'm one day into a 4 day weekend.

    Also, thank god for 11:00am starts. Plan on waking up at 10:55, claiming the tv and cracking a beer.

    Anyways, any thoughts on this one? I feel like the consensus is on Central Michigan here, and I think it is the smart play. However, I also don't know why this total is so high. Currently sitting at 62.5, and most of the money is on the over?

    Thoughts on why I shouldn't take the under would be greatly appreciated.

    well definitely CMU is better...but just like last week, CMU has absolutely nothing to play for and the line is now adjusted to reflect that. Remember, they lost to EMU at home as -14+ favorites so that should give you an idea about their current state of mind.

    That being the case, I doubt CMU wants to lose 2 in a row heading to the MAC championship game and Akron is not very good.

    GL...lean to CMU but no play due to the meaningless game factor.

    Buddy Bear makes some good points. I would be careful with this one especially considering all the chalk that won yesterday. 88% are on CMU.

    Yeah that is true but they also don't want to lose 2 in a row going into title game they want to have momentum. Chalk has actually won all week to be exact.

    But also why is 94% of the money on Centreal Mich and the line hasn't moved at all. Still at 2.5 that just doesn't seem right? Any thoughts?

    Yeah. Looks like the books want everyone to take CMU with that -2.5 line...and everyone is biting.

    I am not going to touch this game... to much money going one way and line is not moving. Seems fishy to me...

    Just shows how bad the MAC is when a team that plays no defense is already assuerd a berth in the Championship Game. Central Michigan has actually allowed more points than they have scored this season, which you never like to see in a road favorite.

    Akron +130 Moneyline for me.

    SH!T!

    Moneyline is now at +150! Man did I jump the gun here.

    Oh well, I would still take the win.

    Looks like CMU has the emotional mojo going into the locker room, and may be bought for around the same price as the start for the 2nd half.. Any thoughts?

    Why is it rigged? I watched CM last 3 games and they were down for most of them and barely won with refs help. Time for a payback.

    Don't get me wrong, I want Akron to cover. There have been some plays with questionable effort on the CMU side for sure.

    Defense wins games. Offense sells tickets.

    Yet another big public play comes in again. Looked like Akron had this one locked up too.

    Very entertaining game. Glad to end up on (somewhat) the right end of it. Had 2 units on CM and a unit on the under.
