Kennesaw State vs FIU Prediction
FIU continues to pile up losses and is coming off two straight games where it scored less than 50 points. It’s hard to get behind Florida International with confidence in its current form. Kennesaw State is playing the better ball right now and beat FIU by six points earlier this month. Kennesaw State is also a profitable 16-9 ATS on the season. I want nothing to do with FIU and its inability to score the basketball. I’ll lay the points with Kennesaw State on the road.
