KENT STATE SPREAD. The Golden Flashes won both regular season meetings last year but then lost to the Zips in the MAC Championship Game so Akron went to the NCAA Tourney instead of Kent State. This is one of those rare exceptions where revenge really does matter a lot as the Golden Flashes lost that game by 20 points too and these schools are rivals too. So all of the above considered plus the fact these two are 1-2 in the conference standings this season and Akron is 11-0 at home yet this line is practically a pick'em. This is essentially a MONEY LINE play on Kent State since the opening line is only 1.5 points and they should get their revenge.
