KENT
STATE (+20) over #14 Western Michigan: Stayin’ with our first
reaction to this and tryin’ not to over-think it. This time last week, we were
extolling da’ Broncos road-prowess ATS, and they didn’t disappoint, routing Ball State. Golden Flashes made one
previous cameo in da’ Picks this
year. We backed State +44 in Week 4 at then-and-still #1 Alabama, but they were whitewashed 48-0. KSU’s other loss
by more than 4 points this season came by 20 at the Alma Mater. Flashes have
just a pair of FBS wins, though one came last week on da’ MAC road, knocking of
the Central Michigan Chippies as two-TD underdogs. While being out-statted in
all but yards-per-carry and FG% by opponents, Kent is still being outscored by
just 4-points per contest. The last
meeting between these two was a 32-14 Flashes’ triumph in Kalamazoo in 2013,
the year in which WMU’s lone victory came by one at UMass in the Minute Rice’s
first official year as part of the conference. State entered the season with 18
returning starters and has been competitive in really all but the Crimson Tide
game. Goin’ out on a limb and hopin’ Western Michigan gives a look to some of
the reserves ahead of its bye week…WMU 34 Kent State 16
