The Golden Flashes have failed to cover the spread in nine of their lat 12 games overall and are just 11-23 against the number in their last 34 non-conference games as well. They’re also just 1-6 at the betting window in their last seven games versus a team with a winning record and are 3-8-1 against the spread in their last 12 games coming off an ATS win.

OUR PREDICTION: The Golden Flashes have some talent on defense, namely safety Nate Holley and senior defensive end Terence Waugh. But the problem for Kent State today is that its defense is going to be on the field way too long. The Golden Flashes are led by redshirt freshman quarterback Mylik Mitchell, who leads an offense that is 119th in the nation in yards per game (299.0) and 117th in passing yards per contest (139.7). If the Golden Flashes can’t sustain drives then their defense will be hung out to dry. This is a big number, but ‘Bama should be able to cover it.
