The Florida Gulf Coast Eagles have been shaky on the road this season, but there’s no doubt they’re the better team here and have a major edge on the defensive side. The Kennesaw State Owls have struggled in games against even OK teams, and I don’t expect much to improve considering they haven’t played since December 30. Florida Gulf Coast should get the rare road victory here.
