Continue reading for our prediction on this Ball State vs Kent State matchup in college football.
Can Ball State Finally Break Through In Conference Play?
The Ball State Cardinals are 1-4 overall and 0-2 in MAC play to start their 2024 college football season. The Cardinals still have yet to beat an FBS opponent this year, but they have been close in both of their conference games, losing to Western Michigan and Central Michigan by a field goal each. This week, Ball State has its best chance to win a game so far this season, as they take on a Kent State team that has been one of the worst in all of college football. But after allowing over 35 points in four straight games, Ball State has to find a way to hold up its end of the bargain on the defensive side of the ball.
Kent State Still Searching For First Win
Kent State has been a disaster this season, coming into this weekend's college football action with a record of 0-5. They have lost by double-digits to all four of the teams they have faced from the FBS level to this point in the year. If they want to avoid another double-digit defeat this week, they are going to need to do way more on defense, as they enter this week having allowed over 50 points to all four FBS opponents they have faced this season. That includes Eastern Michigan, who put up 52 points on Kent State in their last outing.
Ball State vs Kent State Prediction
With the way the Kent State defense is playing of late, there is very little reason to have faith in them to cover the spread in this Ball State vs Kent State matchup. While Ball State has had their share of struggles this season as well, Kent State has been on another level in terms of how bad they have been on the football field. We will lay the points with the Cardinals in this game as Kent State's struggles will continue, even if they manage to hold Ball State under 50 points.
