Arkansas State vs Kent State Prediction
Kent State is a resectable team that should be up for this one, but recent losses to Akron and Ohio have me questioning if the Golden Flashes are ready for a spot like this. Arkansas State is simply the more consistent team on both sides of the ball and has proven itself with six road wins. Also, Arkansas State has covered seven of its last eight games. Arkansas State is now a profitable 14-9 ATS on the season. Arkansas State is the more trustworthy team in this spot, and we’re laying less than a full bucket. Give me the Red Wolves.
