I don't know about an easy win, but it's a game Akron should win. Moreover, it's a game Akron needs to win. I don't know how many games are "must win" games in week one, but this is one for Akron. 

 

Wyoming is a known college football brand and they even have a helmet everyone in the country recognizes. Heck, it's the name of a beautiful state. Akron has beaten better teams in the history of the program. Marshall, Northwestern, Syracuse and NIU in the MAC come to mind. 

 

I'll say at least one of Wyoming/UAB is must-win. Can't go 1-3 with this OOC schedule.

Football roster has been updated. Looks like everyone is accounted for except the incoming freshmen and JUCO DT Nehemiah Musika, who may just be enrolling later.

 

Also, it seems former UNC LB CJ Murphy has filled the open LB spot.

Terence Thomas has been added back to the roster as well. Assuming all the freshmen make it in, that’s 85 scholarships by my count.

Looks like one game starting 3:30 or earlier on Saturday. Miami game start time not set but on a Saturday. Could the start times get any worse?

Only time I ever gambled was 2 or three years ago when they were at 3.5 and I bet the over...... doh!!!    That $8.50 would have made a huge difference

Neither am I but I think it's relevant to the perceived expectations for the team.

 

Feel free to not respond if you really don't care.

Thats why you hedge your happiness. That way if your team loses at least you made money. If you lose money, at least your team won.

Yes, I bet on occasion, but mainly follow lines and over/unders to get educated expectations. Its not a perfect science
