Central Michigan at 2-2 after the Miami trip, Akron is the one that matters now (plus week 5 of our free CFB pick'em)

Now the Chips. Miami was the payday game I expected, 52-3, and I'm not reading much into it. The defense has allowed 20 points across the two wins, but whether it holds up in MAC play is still open.
That makes Akron, Saturday at 3:30 ET at home, the game the 5-7 projection hinges on. Akron just lost 38-10 at home to UNLV. Win this, and the Ohio trip becomes a shot at a winning record.
The thing I'm watching is Flores. He's been doing his damage on the ground (122 vs Colgate, 163 and 2 TDs vs Wyoming). Does that hold up against a MAC defense with film on him?
How are you guys seeing Akron? Comfortable win or a trap?
