Cleveland State vs Kent State Prediction

Kent State is the better team that has an offense that could run away with things. However, Cleveland State has shown some things already this season, which includes a nice upset over Radford, and it already played Kent State a week ago in White Sulphur Springs. The game featured 197 points and the game was tied with less than six minutes to go. Obviously the line is inflated because this time the game is in Kent. Still, this is a lot of points for teams that will be familiar with each other. Give me Cleveland State and the points.
