Kent State is 0-2 against the spread this season failing to cover in matchups against Pittsburgh and St. Francis. The over and under have each hit in one Kent State game this season. Not only is Kent State 0-2 against the spread this season but they’re also 0-2 outright.
The Golden Flashes losing to Pitt to open the season was no surprise but Kent State was big favorites against FCS St. Francis on Saturday before losing 23-17.
Kent State was one of the worst teams in the entire FBS last season, posting just a 1-11 record with its only win coming against a FCS team. With the Golden Flashes already dropping their game against a FCS opponent, they look like they’re headed towards another terrible season.
Kickoff between Tennessee and Kent State is at 7:45 p.m. ET on Saturday night at Neyland Stadium. Tom Hart, Jordan Rodgers and Cole Cubelic are on the call for the SEC Network.
