What you should know

The Kent State Golden Flashes will begin this year’s season on the road against the Pittsburgh Panthers, with kickoff scheduled for 12:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium.

This game could come down to rushing touchdowns, as neither team was good in that area last year. Pittsburgh ranked 124th in the nation with 10 touchdowns on the season, while Kent State ranked 130th with eight touchdowns.

Looking back at last season, Pittsburgh will be looking to improve on its 3-9 record. Kent State finished the season with a dismal 1-11 record.

Looking ahead, the game looks promising for Pittsburgh as the team is favored by a full 24 points. Last season, they finished with a mediocre 4-8 record against the spread, so be on your guard as a bettor.

While Pittsburgh could be expected to win, this is still an open game due to their subpar record of 2-4 as a favorite last season. A bettor who placed $100 on them to lose each of their 12 games last year would have won $574.73. Unfortunately, Kent State will begin its season as an underdog, and the team had a record of 0-11 last year.
