Kent State Golden Flashes vs Oregon Ducks prediction
The Kent State Golden Flashes haven’t had the toughest schedule in the world, so we’re going to learn a lot about this team, especially if that offense can continue to produce. The Oregon Ducks are always a tough out at the Matthew Knight Arena, and they’re 6-4 ATS on the season. Oregon has covered 4 of its last 5 games overall. I’ll lay the chalk with the Ducks, as I’m not quite a believer in Kent State at the moment.
