Each week, to coincide with the release of the “Group of Five Deep Dive” under the Big Bets On Campus podcast banner, I'll be sharing my Group of Five parlay of the week.
We came within 2.5 points of a clean sweep last week, but as it turned out, Old Dominion's monster second half against Arkansas State wasn't enough to seal the deal.
Akron flirted with an outright upset, which is something to keep in the back pocket as it enters MAC play. The Zips could steal a win or two in conference play as their offense continues to gel in Year 1 of the Joe Moorhead era.
With conference play kicking off in earnest for most of the G5, I'm fading a preseason darling, counting on a bounce-back performance in the MAC, and expecting a points-filled affair in Fun Belt country.
