Kennesaw State vs Alabama Prediction
Alabama obviously has the talent to win this game comfortably, but I’m not sure the motivation will be there on a Sunday afternoon. This game is in Huntsville, which is a weird spot. Kennesaw State can also score the ball at an above-average clip, while Alabama often relies way too much on the three-ball. If the outside shot isn’t falling, you can hang around with the Tide. Kennesaw State has covered 3 straight games, which includes a near outright upset over MTSU. I’ll take a stab with the boatload of points.
