FIU vs Kennesaw State Prediction
Kennesaw State is going to get the benefit of the doubt because of a four-game winning streak, but the truth is the Owls aren’t special. Kennesaw State is a well below average team offensively and has a bend but don’t break defense teams can move the ball on. This is also the first time Kennesaw State is a road favorite in the FBS ranks.
FIU has issues of its own, obviously, but it has a couple of nice wins and can run the ball successfully. FIU has covered its last 3 games as home dogs, and 2 of those covers were outright wins. This is a winnable game for FIU at home, a team coming off a blowout road win over WKU. Give me the points with the Panthers.
