#304 Kennesaw St./MTSU Over 50.5
No arguing that Kennesaw St. is a bad team. However, the Owls enter off a bye and this is going to be, perhaps, their best chance to win a game this season. This MTSU defense is bad and the Owls know it. I'd expect an all-out effort from the players and coaches TW, probably including some trick plays and going for it on 4th down more than normal. The Owls lack talent and during their bye week last week, they held internal auditions for anyone interested in playing QB. I'd expect more than one player to take a snap for Kennesaw St. but that is probably a good thing for them. The MTSU D is poor but we probably haven't seen what their O is capable of as they've played a decently tough schedule (#65) that includes some solid D's (Ole Miss, Duke, Memphis), they should welcome the step down in competition here. Kennesaw St. holds the special teams advantage which should help them to score vs a weak D and special teams, and on the MTSU side, they should simply be able to line up, run their offense, and find success. MTSU has been demolished for 5 consecutive games and I think the coaches will want some offensive success for confidence as they move deeper into conference play. Neither team is talented, and this number might seem a tad high, but I think the situation favors a higher scoring game. I made the number 49.5 so I'm willing to back the setup at a fair price.
