Akron-Wake Forest Pick Backs Under 48.5 as Both Teams Break In New Quarterbacks
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 3
Summary
48.5 points is the recommended total for Akron at Wake Forest, with the betting pick favoring the under in the teams' Week 1 opener.
Both offenses enter with new quarterbacks — Akron turns to Reese Poffenbarger, while Wake Forest starts Gio Lopez after his 1,747-yard, 10-touchdown season at North Carolina.
Roster turnover supports a slower start: Akron has four transfer starters on defense, and Wake Forest added two offensive linemen and two wide receivers through the portal.
Season expectations remain modest, with Akron's win total set at 4.5 and Wake Forest projected for about six wins against a tougher upcoming schedule.
