Our Picks
- Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): Kennesaw State +2.5
- Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): Kennesaw State +2.5
- Colby Dant (@thecolbyd): Kennesaw State +2.5
Colby made the case first, and he went big: he thinks the Owls win outright. Kennesaw State’s 1-3 record looks worse than the team, by his read. One loss came at Tennessee, where they covered, one came against a Georgia State team he called awesome for some strange reason, and they covered with ease against Arkansas State despite losing. He also likes the head coach, likes the home spot, and noted both programs lost key players from last year.
The history gives the game some heat. This is a rematch of last year’s Conference USA Championship game, and Colby said the two teams met twice last year and split, with both games played at Jacksonville State. Colby dated the series to 2017, so Ryan needled him about an eight-year-old rivalry, but Colby expects a loud building that feels like a soccer match.
Sean gave Jacksonville State its due. He noted Kennesaw State’s only win came against an FCS opponent, that the yards per play explain why Jacksonville State is laying points on the road, and that Jacksonville State has won its last 15 games as a favorite. He still thinks a short number on a weird Wednesday night is trappy. Ryan’s angle was the money: he said it looked like people with influence were on Kennesaw State, and the guys decided this was a night to ride with the sharps.
