Kennesaw State comes into this contest looking for their third straight win and their defense has been very good in their last two games. Middle Tennessee has not had much luck to start the season and they fell apart in the fourth quarter last week. The Blue Raiders have an experienced quarterback, but his completion percentage is not good. There are still a lot of unknowns with both of these teams, but Kennesaw State has gone under this number in three of their first four games. Take the under here.
