Massachusetts at Kent State

Massachusetts has had a tough schedule, with the last three games against Iowa, No. 20 Missouri, and Western Michigan, the latter one of only two 2-0 MAC squads. They're an underdog to a Kent State team that has lost its last four games. Kent can't run the ball effectively (averaging 2.1 yards per carry). They failed to cover in their only win, 21-17 over Merrimack, getting outgained, allowing 340 yards (164 rushing). They only won because of a 100-yard kickoff return with 5:28 remaining, ending a 21-game losing streak. Last season, Kent State was a 17-point favorite over St. Francis-PA, but lost 23-17. The wagering value is on the visitors to win the game. Play Massachusetts on the moneyline.
