Kent State Golden Flashes vs. Ohio Bobcats Prediction

Kent State has put up an average of just 61 points per game in their three road games this season, but in their defense, they did play decent defensive clubs in the three games. I expect them to get back near their overall scoring average tonight. Ohio hasn’t been kind to OVER bettors going 2-6 in lined games, but at home they’ve averaged 78.7 points and will be facing a team that has allowed a generous 45.7% shooting as a visitor.
