Kent State at Penn State Preview and Best Bet – 9/21/2024

The Kent State Golden Flashes and Penn State Nittany Lions will clash on September 21, 2024, with Penn State favored by 48.5 points according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The total for this game is set at 55.5, implying that it is questionable as to whether or not Kent State will score at all in this matchup. Here, we break down Kent State vs Penn State and attempt to answer that question and more.

Kent State Looks to Bounce Back From Humiliation

The Kent State Golden Flashes are 0-3 this season going into this weekend's trip to Happy Valley to take on Penn State. They have been blown out by Pitt and Tennessee at the FBS level and have also lost a game to FCS St. Francis on top of that. After losing 71-0 to Tennessee in their last game, the Golden Flashes will look to rebound this week, though their play doesn't indicate that they have what it takes on either side of the ball to conjure up even a respectable performance here.

Can Penn State Deliver a More Convincing Performance?

The Penn State Nittany Lions are 2-0 to start the season, beating Bowling Green in their last outing after they opened their season with a win at West Virginia. Penn State only defeated Bowling Green by a touchdown in their last game, which is a little concerning given the gulf in talent between those two teams. Against another MAC school this week, it will be up to Penn State to prove that they are capable of coming out and stomping on their opponent right away to leave them no hope in what should be an easy victory for the Nittany Lions.

Kent State vs Penn State Best Bet

With the way Kent State has played football this season, we could see them go the entire year without winning a game. Needless to say, we don't have much faith in them in this Kent State vs Penn State matchup from State College, PA. We will lay a ton of points with Penn State here as they should be able to get themselves on track on both sides of the ball in front of their home crowd.
