These MAC teams come out and play football at a high level and always play hard. Because of that, this is certainly one of the best NCAAF matchups of the entire week.

Last Game Record
Kent State Last Game Record
Kent State is going to be coming into this game off a loss as they lost against Ball State, 27-20.
Their inability to get much going on the defensive side of the football in the first half was the reason for this loss.
When looking at their NCAA football stats, it’s easy to see why this team has struggled due to their defense.
Bowling Green Last Game Record
Bowling Green comes into this game after an impressive defensive showing as they won 13-9 against Western Michigan.
Although their offense does have to be a ton better in the future, getting a much-needed win at home was important for this team.
This should be one of the more interesting games of the week, and our Kent State vs Bowling Green prediction will reflect that.
When factoring in some of the college football injuries that these teams have had to deal with, this game should be something that’s fun with others stepping up.
Kent State Golden Flashes vs. Bowling Green Falcons Analysis
Bowling Green has some impressive wins on the year as they’ve been able to take down Marshall, Akron, Miami Ohio, and Central Michigan.
Their losses on the season are against some of the better teams in the country, as they lost against UCLA and Mississippi State.
One thing to factor in here about them is that they do have a tough time scoring the football at times.
This could be a good indication that Kent State is going to find a way to win this game if they can come out and do what they’ve been able to do on the offensive side of the football for parts throughout the season.
NCAAF Schedule
When looking at the seasons that Kent State has had, it’s almost unfair to judge them. To put in perspective what their NCAAF schedule has looked like, they have played Washington, Oklahoma, Georgia, and a few other high-level teams in the MAC.
Those three teams that we mentioned above are three of the best teams in the entire country as Georgia currently sits at number one and Washington at number 24.
Oklahoma as an Above-average Program
Oklahoma is typically an above-average program, and that’s also the case this season. Because of that, we have to factor in a few different things with this Kent State football team.
They have an opportunity of showing the MAC that they aren’t a team to mess around with and there’s no better time for them to do so than now. With only three games left on the schedule, including this one, they’re all must-win from here on out.

Kent State Golden Flashes vs. Bowling Green Falcons Betting Pick and Prediction
We are finally here with our Kent State vs Bowling Green prediction, and the best bet in this game is going to be taking Bowling Green + 2.5.
Although I do personally believe that Kent State is a better team in this situation, I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen out of Bowling Green throughout the last three weeks.
The team has now managed to win three games in a row and if they can continue doing what they’ve been able to do on the defensive side of the football in those games, Kent State is going to have a tough time scoring here.
Kent State’s offense has shown the ability to be one of the best in the country, but they also have games when they come out and throw up sneakers.
Who to Bet On?
If Bowling Green has the defense that they’ve continued to show us throughout the first nine games of the season, it’s a great spot for them to move to 5-1 in the Mac.
They realize that they only have three games left, and if they win this game, they will be in a prime position to possibly win the MAC East with a win against Ohio in their last game of the season.
This is a great spot for them, and we fully expect them to come out and take advantage of that.
NCAAF Pick: Bowling Green +2.5 (-110)
NCAAF Pick: Bowling Green (+115)
