UMass vs Akron Prediction

Now we have the UMass vs Akron Prediction for both teams.

This Week 11 matchup between UMass and Akron features two programs that have struggled to find consistency, but the trends and recent performance metrics point to a fairly clear difference in how each team enters this contest. UMass has been mired in one of the longest active losing stretches in FBS football, entering this game with a 0-10 record over its last ten and winless in its last 17 road games against MAC opponents. Their offense has been unable to sustain drives, ranked bottom five nationally in scoring (11.5 points per game) and averaging fewer than 4 yards per play, which puts enormous pressure on a defense that allows nearly 36 points per game. The total has gone over in nine of UMass’ last twelve overall, but that often reflects their defensive shortcomings rather than offensive improvement. Meanwhile, Akron has also had its struggles, particularly against the spread over longer stretches, but the Zips have been more competitive recently and have covered in five of their last six games played in November. Akron has also performed notably better in weekday MACtion environments, with a perfect 6-0 record in their last six Tuesday games. Even in what appears to be a low-tier matchup on paper, trends, matchup dynamics, and on-field performance point to one side holding a clearer path to control the game.

For UMass, the challenge remains the ability to generate consistent offense and avoid falling behind early. The Minutemen rank near the bottom nationally in passing and rushing production, with just 11.5 points per game and only 81.6 rushing yards on average. Their passing game attempts a decent volume, but yards per attempt and efficiency are lacking, as UMass averages just 3.95 yards per play. The offensive line has struggled to protect the quarterback and open running lanes, leading to predictable play-calling and long third-down situations. Defensively, UMass gives up 35.9 points per game and struggles to get off the field, allowing opponents to control possession and tempo. Their rush defense has been a major vulnerability, and while Akron isn’t known for explosive offense, any team with the ability to grind out drives can find opportunities against this unit. Special teams have been one of the few bright spots, particularly in the punting game, but that’s rarely enough to compensate for multi-possession deficits. The biggest issue for UMass remains compounding mistakes—turnovers, quick three-and-outs, and penalties that stall the rare promising drive. Unless they find a way to generate early scoring and force Akron into mistakes, UMass will likely be climbing uphill for the majority of this contest.

Akron’s offense hasn’t been without its flaws, averaging just under 19 points per game, but the Zips have shown more functional balance than UMass and have put together competitive outings against MAC opponents. Akron’s run game averages 126.5 yards per contest, which matches up favorably against a UMass defense allowing 182.5 on the ground. While Akron’s passing attack isn’t explosive, the efficiency advantage and reduced turnover rate give them a stability edge. Akron’s defense allows 29 points per game—still high—but significantly better than UMass, and the Zips have been much stronger situationally, particularly in the fourth quarter where UMass essentially disappears offensively. The Zips also have favorable historical and situational trends: 5-1 ATS in November games, undefeated on Tuesdays recently, and more success overall in MAC play. If Akron can control field position and avoid letting UMass hang around with quick scoring, the matchup leans toward the Zips maintaining steady control. This is not a game likely to feature explosive plays or major swings, but Akron’s consistency in key areas gives them a clearer route to victory.
