The Kent State Golden Flashes have dominated the number on the road against the Ohio Bobcats as they have covered the spread in 7 of their last 9 meetings. Kent State has been one of the most improved teams in the MAC this season as they are 2-0 in the conference, and a huge reason for that is QB Dustin Crum who has thrown 6 TDs to 0 interceptions. The Ohio Bobcats are always a contender in the conference, but they have struggled on the defensive side of the ball as they are allowing an average of 29.5 PPG which ranks 85th in college football. This number is too big for me to back the home team as Kent State should keep this one close. Final Score Prediction, Ohio Bobcats win but fail to cover ATS 27-23.
