Kennesaw State Owls vs. Missouri State Bears Prediction

I’m on Missouri State and the points in this one. I think Kennesaw is a solid team that’s been highly competitive in their last couple of games, but you have to wonder what close losses in back-to-back games like that does to a team, losing their last two games by four points combined. I think this has potential to be another close call and with two being a new key number in college football, I think Missouri State’s line has some added value here. Give me Missouri State and the points.
