I am leaning towards Kent myself. I am an ISU alum and fan and don;t see them being 4 points better than Kent at this point. I think it is a solid value play on Kent. ISU's new coach Chizek can only shine a terd so much, but it is still a terd. I think ISU is heading in the right direction but this year will be one of those 3-4 win seasons like last year. Their D is brutal and returns only one decent LB. ISU is a team with a lot of JUCO transfers this year while they wait for Chizek's recruiting power to kick in. he is doing what McDermott did in hoops and playing the cards he has been dealt by the former coaching staff who really had no clue.
My play will be on Kent State +4 or more by kickoff. Well said that ISU is a MAC team in the Big 12. It will be crazy in Ames that night for the opener but that won't help as much as you think. I see ISu possibly squeaking it out, but not covering the spread.
i will stop back as I continue to look at the game.
