The 1-6 Kennesaw State Owls are reeling entering tonight's contest against the 5-2 Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, who have a superb opportunity to improve their conference record to 4-0. 

We expect a lopsided victory for the Hilltoppers at home, and our Kennesaw State vs. Western Kentucky prediction follows that script. The game kicks off in Bowling Green, Ky., at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2), and it's part of our Week 10 college football predictions.

The line hasn't moved in the lead-up to the contest, with Western Kentucky still favored by 24 or 24.5 points at our best sports betting sites

Kennesaw State vs. Western Kentucky opening odds:

  • Kennesaw State: +24.5 (-110)
  • Western Kentucky: -24.5 (-110)

The Owls pulled off a miraculous 27-24 upset last week against Liberty, despite being 27.5-point underdogs. While that may have some bettors feeling nervous heading into Wednesday, that game was also at Kennesaw State, and it was essentially the Owls’ Super Bowl, as they were taking on an undefeated team.

The Owls have scored fewer than 20 points on five different occasions, and they’ve lost three games by at least 21 points. They have the sixth-worst passing offense in the nation, averaging just 132.7 yards per game, and their rushing attack is averaging only 113.3 yards per game.

Hilltoppers dominate every facet

The Hilltoppers give up plenty of yards, but the Owls can’t do anything against anyone offensively. With the Hilltoppers averaging 389.5 yards per game, and the Owls allowing 422.5 yards per contest, there is no facet of the game that the Owls can exploit to stay close.

Despite 58% of bettors backing the Hilltoppers, the spread hasn’t moved at any of the major sportsbooks. Maybe the spread will move to 25 by kickoff, but this spread is already so massive, that it seems like it will stay right where it is, especially with the Hilltoppers not seeing overwhelming support.

Kennesaw State vs. Western Kentucky best bet

Our NEW college football player prop odds tool can help you find the best odds on any market across legal sportsbooks in your area!

Caden Veltkamp Over 2.5 passing touchdowns (+135) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Veltkamp has thrown three touchdown passes in back-to-back games. Both of those games were dominated by the Hilltoppers, but they didn’t stop throwing just because they had comfortable leads. 

This season, Veltkamp has thrown at least three touchdowns in every single game against Conference USA opponents. Earlier this year, he threw five touchdown passes against Middle Tennessee. 

With how easy it is to score on the Owls, and how bad their pass defense is, it’s shocking to see a price this good. The only other major sportsbook offering this prop is FanDuel, and they have the Over listed with a price of +106. That implies a 48.54% chance of this happening. That is a significant difference compared to bet365, and it highlights the value of the latter sportsbook.

Best odds: +135 via bet365 | Implied probability: 42.55%
