Randy’s Free Pick
The Ohio Bobcats have been a good team this season, and they’re live dogs here given how they compete. However, Kent State is far more consistent, wins at home by an average of 20.2 points and is 18-9 ATS on the year. Kent State wins as favorites by an average of 10.4 points. It’s hard to go against that. I’ll lay the chalk.
