The line in this game is a lot smaller than I expected, with the Akron Zips only favored by 4. Generally, when a team that is 6-12 overall and 2-4 in the MAC, and is playing a team that is 16-3, 6-0, the line is going to be in double digits. What does Vegas know?
Well, Vegas knows how to make money. They don’t care who is going to win, and lines are designed to put even money on both sides. However, that small line indicates is that the bettors like the Western Michigan Broncos.
