One way for a team to quickly get overrated is to win a road game as a big dog vs. a power-5 conference team. Central Michigan did just that in their second game of the season when they went to Oklahoma State and sprang the shocking upset as a +17point underdog, 30-27. Their last five games has kind of told the story as they have been 1-4 ATS and have lost by 74 points ATS. Kent State is 2-6 on the season, but have played both Penn State and Alabama. They have faced four conference teams, and while they are just 1-3 in those games, the three losses came by just four points each. The Golden Flashes have out-gained three of their four conference opponents despite the 1-3 record. The record of 2-6 doesn't tell the full story here, nor does the 5-3 mark of Central Michigan who has played well below the line. Play on Kent State.
