Kent State vs Akron Prediction

Now we have the Kent State vs Akron Prediction for both teams.

The Battle for the Wagon Wheel returns in Week 12 as Kent State travels just a short distance to face Akron in a Mid-American Conference rivalry matchup that’s always intense no matter the records. Both programs have had their share of struggles this season, but this game holds local bragging rights and a chance to close out the year on a high note. Kent State has endured another rough campaign, ranking near the bottom nationally in most offensive and defensive categories. Meanwhile, Akron has shown flashes of competitiveness, recently posting a couple of strong wins, including a 44-10 blowout of UMass and a gritty 24-16 victory at Buffalo. Historically, this rivalry has been tightly contested, but in recent years, Akron has managed to get the upper hand in close games, winning two straight against Kent State. The numbers suggest a low-scoring affair could be in store — the UNDER has hit in six of their last seven meetings at Akron, and both offenses tend to struggle with consistency. This matchup might not draw national attention, but it’s a crucial measuring stick for two programs trying to build momentum heading into the offseason.

For Kent State, it’s been a season defined by offensive inefficiency and road woes. The Golden Flashes have averaged just 18 points per game, ranking 127th nationally, and they’ve lost 19 straight road contests — an alarming trend that underscores their inability to execute away from home. Their passing attack ranks 111th in the nation at 184 yards per game, while their rushing game has been virtually nonexistent, putting up just 87.9 yards per contest — good for 131st in the FBS. Quarterback play has been inconsistent, and the offensive line has struggled to open holes or protect the pocket, allowing over two sacks per game. On defense, Kent State has been overmatched against both the run and the pass, allowing nearly 35 points and 442 total yards per game. Still, the Flashes have shown moments of resilience — they’ve covered the spread in wins over Ball State and Bowling Green, proving that when they limit mistakes, they can hang tough. However, their inability to sustain drives and produce explosive plays has made it difficult to close out games, especially against even average defensive units like Akron’s.

Akron, meanwhile, enters this rivalry in better form and with tangible signs of improvement under center. The Zips’ offense hasn’t been elite, but they’ve been balanced and opportunistic, averaging over 21 points per game with a solid mix of rushing and short passing plays. Running back production has been key, and their 137 rushing yards per contest has helped take pressure off the passing game. More importantly, Akron’s defense has held opponents under 30 points in six of their last eight games, showing steady progress against both the pass and the run. They’ve also been reliable against the spread at home, going 6-3 in their last nine games in Akron, and they’ve dominated the UNDER in this rivalry — six of the last seven home matchups against Kent State have gone below the total. With better recent form, home-field advantage, and a more balanced team overall, Akron appears poised to continue their winning streak in this series. Unless Kent State suddenly finds offensive rhythm on the road, the Zips should take control of this one and keep the Wagon Wheel in Akron.
