Think BG Under tonight Mac?
Despite the fact that the Golden Flashes have managed to win just one game all season, they are worth a look as a 14-point underdog. Kent State has just three losses all season by more than 10-points and two of those came on the road against the likes of Ohio State and Virginia. Just this past week they lost by 10-points at home as a 13-point dog to Toledo, who is currently 5-1 inside the MAC after Tuesday's loss at Northern Illinois.
If Kent State was going to lay down and quit on their season, it would have been last week against Toledo, as their 3-10 defeat at Miami (OH) the previous week had eliminated any hopes of becoming bowl eligible at 6-6. The Golden Flashes are clearly playing for pride and most importantly to avoid going without a win inside conference play.
Even with the possibility of clinching a spot in the MAC Championship Game, it’s going to be hard for the Falcons to get motivated to play a bad team like Kent State. Most importantly, we have seen Bowling Green struggle in this spot this season. The Falcons barely held on to beat Buffalo at home 36-35. Adding to this is the fact that Bowling Green has a big game on deck at Toledo next week, making it that much harder for them to come out focused on the Golden Flashes.
One of the big reasons I like Kent State and the two touchdowns is the Falcons are clearly not a great defensive team. Bowling Green ranks 124th in the country in total defense, giving up an average of 526.9 ypg. Kent State has shown the ability to put up points against bad defenses. They scored 39 just a few weeks back against Army, who is currently ranked 90th in total defense.
It’s also worth noting that Bowling Green could be without one of their top offensive players. Leading rusher Travis Greene is questionable with an ankle injury. Greene has rushed for 644 yards and 8 touchdowns with an impressive 5.0 yards/carry on 128 attempts.
Adding to all of this is a couple of key trends that are heavily in favor of the Golden Flashes covering this spread. Kent State is 8-2 TS in their last 10 road games against a team with a winning home record, while Bowling Green is just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games against a team with a losing road recordDespite the fact that the Golden Flashes have managed to win just one game all season, they are worth a look as a 14-point underdog.
