Machine Choice Football: 29-23
I've loaded the MAC revolver and placed it to my head, getting ready to pull the trigger and see what happens.
I have Kent State getting this done tonight. Their offense improved last week after they shuffled their OL, and CMU's defense cannot, will not, shall not hold a lead through the 4th Qtr. Look at all their games, they give up huge yards and scores in the 2H of all their games, even against the worst opponents. Kent State will abuse them at home late in the game.
CMU gave up late points to shitty Akron, and even though Kent's offensive stats seem as bad as Akron's, realize that Kent has played a far touger schedule than either Akron or CMU. Last week I saw what Kent State could do to a MAC opponent that is as bad as CMU: beating Bowling Green fairly solid. I think they ride that momentum into tonight.
CMU couldn't get past EMU or Akron (remember the Akron game should have went to OT), they should have no answer for Kent's defense which is one of the best in the MAC.
CMU is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games, I think that goes to 0-7 tonite.
CMU 17
Kent State 26
KENT STATE -1.5
