Kennesaw State vs Sam Houston State Prediction
Sam Houston is possibly the worst team in college football and has no value in the betting market. Sam Houston is 127th in total offense, 138th in rush offense, and 132nd in scoring offense. It’s scored three or more points in three of its last five games. Absolutely not. Kennesaw State is coming off its best two games of the season where it blasted Middle Tennessee and Delaware, scoring 40-plus points in both victories. Kennesaw State has also covered 5 of its last 7 games.
Now Kennesaw State is rarely in the big favorite role, so we’ll see how it handles this spot, but this has more to do with how bad Sam Houston is than anything else. The Bearkats can’t move the football. Bad news with the way Kennesaw State has looked lately. I’ll lay the points with the Owls.
