Kent State finally snapped its 21-game losing streak during its season-opening win over Merrimack a couple of weeks ago. But things haven’t gotten easier since then.
The Golden Flashes are 1-2 as they lost at Texas Tech 62-14. Then they began MAC play last week and just barely lost to Buffalo, one of the preseason favorites to win the conference, 31-28.
It won’t get easier from this point on for the Golden Flashes. They go on the road to take on Florida State, the No. 7 team in the Associated Press Top 25, this week before playing at Oklahoma a few weeks from now.

Kent State vs. Florida State Prediction
I predict Florida State will win and cover the 45.5-point spread. I also project the game will go Over 55.5 total points.
I think it’s possible the Over hits without Kent State scoring a single point in this one.
It’s not like Florida State is a Power Four team that is maybe ranked too high because of preseason expectations. The Seminoles are 2-0 with one of those wins being a 31-17 victory over Alabama. Their other win was a 77-3 game against East Tennessee A&M.
Meanwhile, though Kent State did keep it close against Buffalo at home last week, I don’t think the Golden Flashes will be capable of keeping up on the road at Florida State.
