The VCU Rams are obviously the more talented team, and they should win, but their offense has been dreadful through 5 games, and that includes scoring less than 60 points in 2 of their last 3 efforts. The Kennesaw State Owls hung around with Florida on the road and beat App State for whatever that’s worth. Kennesaw State enters this contest shooting the ball well. Give me the points. VCU doesn’t score enough to cover double-digit chalk.
