Kennesaw State has done a decent job on the offensive end this season, ranking t-103^rd in scoring offense, however, the Owls have struggled defensively as they come into this game ranked just 221^st in scoring defense & 242^nd in defensive FG%. Wofford is led by their offense which ranks t-64^th in scoring offense & 70^th in FG%, however, they have struggled a bit defensively as they rank just 295^th in defensive FG%.

Wofford is the better team, however, Kennesaw State has played some solid teams tough as they covered easily in road games at Iowa State & Creighton to start the season and as I think the Owls offense will have some success against Wofford, I think Kennesaw State does enough with the points to get us a cover. Good Luck!
