San Diego State vs Kennesaw State Betting Prediction
The Owls are 4-0 ATS on the road against teams that have a good winning percentage at home. The Aztecs have failed to cover the spread in their previous six games, out of which they were pegged as favorites in four of them. We expect the Owls' offense attacking the glass ferociously to score heavily. While SDSU should win the contest, you would be well advised to take the away team to cover the spread tonight.
Pick: Kennesaw State Owls +16.5 (-110)
