💰 Kent State vs. Ohio State prediction & best bet
Check out all of our college football predictions for more analysis across this week's slate.
Under 59.5 (-106 via FanDuel)
In this week’s colossal mismatch, the Fremeau Efficiency Index (FEI)’s top team takes on its second-worst. With a spread of 52.5, this total implies at least one score for Kent State, which it couldn’t even manage against a worse South Carolina team. Let’s fade that and buy the Under.
Last year, Ohio State played at the second-slowest pace in college football, with 31.1 seconds per play – that’s slower than triple-option Navy! Logically, Ohio State’s slow playstyle limits both its and its opponents’ opportunities to score points in blowouts, making the Under a solid option.
Score prediction: Ohio State 55, Kent State 3
🙌 Kent State vs. Ohio State touchdown scorer prediction
Legend Bey anytime TD scorer (-125)
Freshman Legend Bey isn’t Ohio State’s first or second option on the running back depth chart, but he still managed six carries against Ball State in the team’s 56-3 win. With Bo Jackson (-550) and Ja’Kobi Jackson (-225) so expensive, let’s go with the reserve to find paydirt in a blowout win.
Kent State gave up four rushing scores to South Carolina to three different running backs while allowing 7.1 yards per rush attempt. In what profiles as a blowout, Bey is a logical target at the reasonable price of -125 (55.6%) at bet365.
🚀 Kent State vs. Ohio State same-game parlay
It’s tricky to put together a good same-game parlay in what profiles as a blowout, so let’s pair the Under with a solid team effort on the ground for the Buckeyes in a simple two-leg play.
