COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Western Michigan enters after a loss and has been more productive offensively overall, with 297.8 yards per game compared with Kent State’s 280.0. The Broncos also average 152.5 rushing yards per game, which should help them sustain drives and reduce volatility. Kent State has shown some scoring ability at home this season, but its road results and defensive numbers are a concern, allowing 257.0 passing yards per game and 36.0 points per game. Western Michigan’s defense has not been elite, but it has been much more reliable than Kent State’s unit and should be enough to create separation if the Broncos avoid turnovers.
Western Michigan should control this game with its better balance and stronger defensive baseline, leading to a projected 31-13 win. That result supports a home spread position and points to a comfortable Broncos victory if Kent State continues to struggle moving the ball efficiently against better competition.
