Kent State at Penn State

Penn State needed everything they had to overcome a very tough, and competitive Appalachian State team in their opener, a game that ended 45-38. They redeemed themselves last week vs. Pittsburgh in a blowout 51-6 win. Kent State has averaged 39 points per game thus far after averaging a woeful 12.8 ppg a season ago. I think it is an illusion created by playing a couple poor defenses, especially since they scored 38 last year against a cupcake. They have not been able to generate any offense against the strong Big-10 opponents. Looking back over the years, they have had 15 Big-10 opponents and they have an 0-14-1 SU record against them. The good news for Kent State is that between calling off the dogs, and defending their Big-10 opponents rather well, allowing only 37 ppg, this line is looking way overdone. Their limited offense will not go far in this game as they average just seven ppg against Big-10 opponents. I see about 3-4 points on both the side and the total here, so take both Kent State and the UNDER in this one.
