Meanwhile, the Flashes are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and 3-1-1 ATS in their last five overall. Kent State is 2-6 ATS in their last eight after a straight-up win.
PICK: I’m going to stay with Kent State. The Flashes have certainly had their struggles this year, but over the last five games they’ve found some footing. Kent State has hit 75 or more points in consecutive games and should be able to put up a decent total here. Miami-OH can score when the matchup is right, so this one should finish on the higher side. I like Kent State to come away with the eventual cover (and maybe the win), though.
