💰 Best Akron vs. Bowling Green player props

⬆️  Austyn Dendy player prop: Over 80.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dendy has only played in three games this season. Despite Bowling Green losing each of those games, Dendy has rushed for at least 62 yards in each contest. He’s topped 90 yards twice, and he ran for 113 on 21 carries against Eastern Michigan.

While the two teams Dendy rushed for at least 90 against rank in the bottom three in rush defense in the MAC, the 62-yard performance against Buffalo’s fourth-ranked MAC rush defense is what catches my eye. Bowling Green lost that game by 25, yet Dendy still carried the ball 18 times and averaged 3.4 yards per carry. Akron is allowing 4.4 yards per carry and 20.7 more rushing yards per game than Buffalo.

FanDuel’s price implies a 53.27% chance that Dendy hits this Over. A $10 bet would pay $8.77.

⬆️  Jordan Gant player prop: Over 83.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gant has topped 90 rushing yards in four consecutive games. He’s struggled against the two best MAC rush defenses that he’s faced, Toledo and Miami (OH), but Bowling Green is allowing 60 more rushing yards per game than Toledo and 21.7 more yards than Miami (OH).

The main reason to like Gant tonight is that he is averaging 5.0 yards per carry. He’s topped 4.0 yards per carry in six games this season, but even when he only averaged 3.7 against Buffalo, he still managed 92 yards. With Bowling Green allowing 4.3 yards per carry, I expect Gant will have no trouble hitting this Over as long as he records at least 19 carries, which he’s done in four consecutive games.

FanDuel’s price of -114 implies a 53.27% chance that Gant hits this Over. A $10 bet would profit $8.77.

6️⃣ Best Akron vs. Bowling Green touchdown scorer bet

🔥 Israel Polk TD pick: Anytime touchdown scorer (+140) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Polk has yet to catch more than five passes in a game this season, yet he leads Akron with seven receiving touchdowns. He’s caught at least one in four of his last five games, totaling five scores during that stretch.

Bowling Green has a decent pass defense, allowing 202.1 passing yards per game, but the Falcons are also allowing 25.8 points per contest. They’ve allowed at least one touchdown pass in five of their six MAC games, and Polk is the leading touchdown scorer for the third-ranked passing attack in the conference.

FanDuel’s price of +140 implies a 41.67% chance that Polk scores. A $10 bet would profit $14.
