The Kennesaw State Owls face the Florida International Panthers on Tuesday at Pitbull Stadium in Miami, with the opening kickoff at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN2. Kennesaw State is 4–2 overall and 2–0 in Conference USA play after a 35–7 win over Louisiana Tech. Florida International is 3–3 and 1–1 in the conference after a 25–6 win at Western Kentucky that ended a two-game losing streak. Score the winning touchdown with our college football picks.

Kennesaw State Preview

Kennesaw State has won four straight since losing to Indiana. The offense has averaged 26 points per game and controlled drives with a balanced approach. Quarterback Amari Odom has completed 71% of his passes for 754 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. Wide receiver Gabriel Benyard leads with 398 yards and three scores. The run game complements the passing attack, with running back Coleman Bennett adding 365 yards and two touchdowns on 76 carries.

The front seven has dictated the line of scrimmage during the streak. Defensive lineman Tylon Dunlap leads the pass rush with 3.5 sacks, while linebacker Baron Hopson has a team-best 57 tackles. The defense has allowed only 57 points in the last four games. Kennesaw State needs to maintain discipline and first and second down and continue forcing long-yardage third downs.

Florida International Preview

FIU improved in its road win at Western Kentucky. The Panthers’ offense has relied on running back Kejon Owens, who has 658 yards and six touchdowns at 6.7 yards per carry. Quarterback Keyone Jenkins has thrown for 959 yards and three touchdowns with a 63% completion rate. The run game has set up short-yardage throws and helped keep the offense moving.

The defense held Western Kentucky to six points and played its most complete game of the season. Defensive back Jessiah McGrew leads with three interceptions, and linebacker Johnny Chaney Jr. has 48 tackles. The front seven totaled four sacks in the win. FIU must limit Kennesaw State’s early completions and contain Odom inside the pocket.

Kennesaw State vs Florida International Prediction

Kennesaw State has controlled games at the line and finished drives more consistently. FIU’s ground game keeps it competitive, but Kennesaw State’s defense has handled similar matchups. The Owls will make enough plays through the air to stay unbeaten in conference play. Final Score Prediction: Kennesaw State Owls win and cover ATS 24-17.
