Akron at Kent State

October 22, 2022
img12:00 PM Eastern

This could be a tough game for Kent St. The Golden Flashes blew a 21-point lead last week, and with lowly Akron coming in, a team they have beaten three straight times by a combined score of 133-38. Last week's result and a poor Akron team in town, and I just don't see the Kent St. "A" game here. Akron is a surprising 19-12 in their last 3 meetings vs Kent St. This game is not going to draw a lot of betting attention, and for that matter, the home crowd will be very limited. Akron has covered 3 of their last 4, and the line here has moved away from Kent St. I think this is a lot closer. Make the play on Akron.
