@ThePostSports staffers — two of which are perfect — attempt to pick this weekend's game against Akron.
Chad Lindskog, Sports Editor (5-2)
Akron 21, Ohio 20
“These schools are known for their basketball rivalry and could take the first step to developing one in football if Akron wins the meeting for the first time since 2007.”
Alex Busch, Asst. Sports Editor (5-2)
Akron 23, Ohio 17
“With Akron QB Kyle Pohl out, this week presents a great opportunity for the Bobcats to snap the funk that they’re in, but I think they still fall short in a game that finds both teams still in the game until the final drive.”
Luke O’Roark, Staff Writer (7-0)
Akron 27, Ohio 20
“A huge turning point in Ohio’s season, as Sprague and the offense still try to find an identity. It will be a close game, but Akron is just a tad-bit better.”
Andy Kovar, Staff Writer (7-0)
Akron 24, Ohio 17
“This will not be a pretty game by any means, but at the end of the day Akron will pull it out in a low scoring ballgame.”
Charlie Hatch, Staff Writer (5-2)
Ohio 24, Akron 21
“This will be a death-or-glory moment for the Bobcats if they have any interest in postseason play.”
Tony Wolfe, Staff Writer (4-2)
Ohio 24, Akron 17
“Ohio's due for a break in their direction. They appear to be fairly evenly matched with the Zips, so this could be their big chance to get back to .500 in front of their home crowd. I think they take advantage.”
