Bowling Green vs. Kent State Prediction

I’m on the under here. Kent State has the most efficient defense in the MAC this season, so I truly have a hard time seeing Bowling Green all of a sudden waking up offensively to break down the Golden Flashes, but on the other side, as bad as Bowling Green’s defense has been Kent State isn’t scoring consistently enough for me to trust laying a big number here. This feels like a first-to-70-wins kind of game if we even make it to that point. Give me the under here.
