BG has a good D on paper. They allow 285ypg, good for 6th best in the nation. But, the 9 FBS opponents they've played, if you add their Total O's up for the year, only average out to 375ypg, which would be good for 87th in the nation. So, it's easy to see how BG has the 6th best Total D in the nation.

Kent St is vulnerable in Pass D, but I don't think BG is the team to take advantage of that. The past 3 games, the Falcons haven't topped 150 yards passing, averaging a whopping 97 passing ypg in those 3 games. Pretty awesome. 

With Ohio already having 2 conference losses(and 2 conf. games left against Ball St and Kent St), and with 2 weeks left in the season, this is an elimination game in the MAC East, with the winner more than likely headed for the conference title game. So I don't expect either team to come out flat, they both know what's at stake. 

I think this will be a stay around a 1 possession game for most of the game, then Kent to build on their lead in the 4th, and win going away.

Kent State high octane offense??? Really? This offense is based on a rushing attack and BG has proven this year they can stop that, just like they did last week versus Ohio.  If Kent State can't run they can't score: which is what happened at Kentucky earlier in the year. BG is 0-9 on the total this year and this game might prove to go under, as well.

Bowling Green - 27                                Kent St - 23

Falcons -2.5                                 over 47

Tough call here, Falcons in a double revenge game vs the Flashes is where the colonel is losing his  . BG is on a 5 game su & ats winning streak and with bowl implications on the line the incentive is there for another Falcon victory. Last home game is added incentive.

Falcons - Over
