Kennesaw State vs Western Kentucky Best Bet: Kennesaw State +24.5

Kennesaw State is fresh off their lone win of the season over the Liberty Flames. The Owls needed that win, and it could be the turning point for them to start playing confidently. Although the Hilltoppers enter as heavy-betting favorites, if Kennesaw State can play with the same consistency they did in their last matchup, they can refrain from losing by more than 25 points to WKU.

Kennesaw State vs Western Kentucky Best Total Bet: Under 49.5

Western Kentucky has shown signs all season long that their offense can score on any defense. Meanwhile, Kennesaw State has struggled to find efficiency on offense. This game could be one-sided in scoring, but not enough to hit the 50-point mark. A final score of 31-10 could be a realistic outcome.

Kennesaw State Best Player Bet: Michael Benefield Any Time Touchdown +250

Michael Benefield has served as one of the top options in the backfield for the Owls this season. The running back is up to 296 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the season. If Kennesaw State has any hope of keeping up with WKU, they’ll need to turn to the best aspect of their offense which is the rushing game. With some luck, Benefield could find his way into the endzone when it’s all said and done.

Western Kentucky Best Player Bet: Kisean Johnson First Touchdown Scorer +550

Kisean Johnson has been the top playmaker in the Hilltoppers offense this season. The wideout is up to 493 receiving yards and four touchdowns on the year. Against a struggling Kennesaw State secondary, Johnson could be poised for a monster day that includes the first touchdown of the game.
