The University of Akron football team is seeking its first win in 2024. The Zips were routed by Ohio State and Rutgers. Colgate awaits in Week 3.

MACtion visits the SEC as we continue our college football odds series with an Akron-South Carolina prediction and pick.

Tune-up game: The Gamecocks committed 13 penalties in their first loss of the season last week. Two of those came at the cost of pick-sixes by USC’s defense, which would’ve won the game. Akron is a perfect opportunity for South Carolina to get right heading into its first of two bye weeks.
