Gridiron, I didnt play either game but my thoughts on both:
Ohio-Miami
Oxford is a tough place to play and especially for a team that is implementing a new offense as the Bobcats are going from a ground control offense very similiar to Wake Forest to a semi spread offense. Last wek the Bobcats on paper played Pitt even but it didnt show on the scoreboard so the offense is working fairly well for them. Miami has much more talent then the Cats but I cannot back a team that has turned the ball over so much as the Hawks have done this year. Nineteen is alot of points butif the Redhawks get up early they could make this a blowout.
Akron-UVA
Zips have so far had a very average running game and against a defense like UVA they will have very limited chances of advancing the ball on the ground, but they have inserted a JUCO transfer into the TB slot for this week. With no running game all the burden is going to fall on Frey to move the offense which is asking alot of even a future high NFL draft pick. The Zips defense very well could be the worst defense in Div 1A so the Cavs will score on them at will but 31 is a ton of points to cover. I like AKron but didnt play them because UVA has been on a roll covering and I am concerned that Akron's defense may give up 55 points.
