The Kent State Golden Flashes and Bowling Green Falcons face off on Wednesday in some MACtion at Doyt Perry Stadium. Kent State has won the last four games over Bowling Green. 

Kent State comes into this game with a 3-6 record overall, and they have gone 3-6 against the spread. In the last game against Ball State, Kent State was competitive, but they ended up losing 27-20. Kent State only scored seven points in the second half, and that led to the defeat. Collin Schlee completed 25 of his 41 passes for 183 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Kent State is averaging 27.4 points, while their defense is giving up 31.6 points per game. 

 On the other side of this matchup is Bowling Green, who sits with a 5-4 record, and they have gone 3-5-1 against the spread. In the last game against Western Michigan, Bowling Green’s defense was elite, giving up only nine points and that led to the four-point victory. Bowling Green quarterback Matt McDonald completed 23 of his 31 passes for 161 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Jaison Patterson finished with 10 rushes for 56 yards. Bowling Green is averaging 24.9 points, while their defense is giving up 31.8 points per game. The defense hasn’t been good enough for this team. 

The over is 5-0-1 in Golden Flashes last 6 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game. The Falcons are 0-5 against the spread in their last five games on Wednesday. Kent State is 0-6 against the spread in their last six conference games. Kent State is 0-5 against the spread in their last 5 games on field turf.

Bowling Green is averaging 24.9 points per game, but in the last game, they only scored 13 points. In this game, Bowling Green’s defense is going to be good, and they will slow down Kent State’s offense. I also don’t expect Bowling Green’s offense to find a lot of success, and that will lead to this game being lower scoring. Back the under to cash here. This is a very strong play.
