Kent State vs. Eastern Michigan Predictions
Kent State has been an “under machine” this season, going under the total in six of its last seven games. That’s not to say that the Golden Flashes don’t score many points, but they consistently fall short of totals in the 60s. For Wednesday, they once again have a total crossing that threshold, as BetFred Sportsbook puts this over/under at 60 points.
Eastern Michigan has been on a string of under as well, falling below the total in three of its last four games. The Eagles rank 101st in the country in yards per game and 45th in yards per game allowed. Combine that with Kent State’s 58% rush rate (25th most in FBS), and you have a recipe for the under. Both of these offenses like to run the ball, but each defense is reasonably solid against the run.
Because of that, we are looking Under 60 in this MACtion battle between Kent State and Eastern Michigan.
The Pick: Under 60 | -110 at BetFred Sportsbook
