EV signal: Premium only

Final score: Akron Zips 16, Wake Forest Demon Deacons 38

Why this play: Wake Forest's fireworks and Akron's porous defense will light up the board, pushing the total past 48.5.

Quick read:

I'm taking the over on this one – expect a scoring binge that makes the 48.5 line look like a low‑ball.

Wake Forest brings a high‑tempo attack that thrives against defenses that can't keep a lid on the heat, and Akron hasn't shown the ability to shut the door on opponents' scoring sprees.

The only hitch is if the game turns into a defensive slog, but with both squads geared for offense, the over feels like a safe bet.
