Kent State is coming into this game with a 1-7 record this season and they are 0-4 in the MAC as well. Kent State is by far the worst team in the MAC this season as they have not been playing well at all but also they are a team that was dismantled in the transfer portal as they lost a lot of their production from last year. They are going up against an Akron team that is also 1-7 this season and is 0-4 in conference games, but Akron has also been playing much better than their record suggests. Kent State has struggled to score points all season as they have scored 6 points or less in 2 of their last 4 games and they also average 12.5 points scored per game this year which ranks 133rd out of 133 FBS schools. Their defense also ranks 116th in points allowed as they are averaging 33 points allowed per game this season and they have also allowed at least 23 points against every MAC team they have faced. Akron has also had their own scoring troubles this season as they lost their starting QB DJ Irons but their defense is a lot better than Kent State as well and it has kept Akron in a lot of closer conference games this year. Akron is also starting to find a rhythm in their offense with Undercuffler at QB and this is going to be the year they take advantage of Kent State in their current situation and snap the 4 game losing streak against them. Akron will cover the spread in this game.
