Style restraint: Analyze whether the tactical style of both sides tends to be offensive or defensive tug-of-war in historical matches, which directly affects total scoring expectations.

market and odds analysis: The over/under market is 170.5 points, and the odds of both sides are 0.91. This average odds indicate that the institution initially believes that the probability of the total score fluctuating around 170.5 is more balanced, but slightly leans towards the small score direction (usually the lower odds are preferred, here both sides are the same, and other factors need to be combined). It is necessary to compare the odds changes of mainstream companies in the market and observe whether there are changes in funds or indices that are tilted towards large or small scores.

Based on the above analysis, the comprehensive prediction: combined with the University of Akron's home defense, Kent State's away offensive efficiency, the characteristics of historical head-to-head mostly small points, and the current odds structure does not strongly show the big score, it is predicted that the probability that the total score in this game may be less than 170.5 points is relatively high. The key point is the defensive execution of both teams and the control of the pace of the game.
