What to Know

Kent State will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-field advantage. The Kent State Golden Flashes and the Buffalo Bulls will face off in a Mid American East battle at 3:30 p.m. ET at Dix Stadium. Kent State is limping into the game on a four-game losing streak.

Last Saturday, Kent State lost to Eastern Michigan on the road by a decisive 28-14 margin. Despite 125 more yards than Eastern Michigan, Kent State couldn't convert that extra yardage to scores.

Luke Floriea put forth a good effort for the losing side as he picked up 63 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Tommy Ulatowski also deserves a shout-out for his two touchdowns.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Buffalo last Saturday, but the final result did not. They fell 24-14 to Bowling Green.

Kent State's defeat was their fifth straight on the road, which dropped their overall record down to 1-6. That rough patch could be blamed on the team's lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 10.6 points per game. As for Buffalo, their loss dropped their record down to 2-5.

In addition to losing their last games, Kent State and Buffalo failed to cover the spread. As for their next game, Buffalo is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by six points. Anyone thinking of taking Kent State against the spread should keep this in mind: the team hasn't covered the last five times they've played Buffalo.

Kent State came out on top in a nail-biter against Buffalo when the teams last played back in November of 2022, sneaking past 30-27. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Buffalo's Matt Myers, who rushed for 110 yards and three touchdowns. Now that he won't be playing on Saturday, will it be that much easier for Kent State to walk away with another win? Check CBSSports.com after the match to find out.
