FIU vs Kennesaw State Prediction
Kennesaw State was competitive in the last game even though they lost, and they are going to be competitive again in this game. I am not sold on this FIU defense and their lack of playing any sort of defense is going to be the difference here as Kennesaw State is going to find success. There is going to be that little boost after the coaching change and Kennesaw State will cover the spread. Back Kennesaw State against the spread.
