Bowling Green vs. Kent State Best Bet: Under 43.5 Points (-110)
Both teams have had a little over a week to prepare for Tuesday night’s matchup since their last games, but that doesn’t guarantee the offenses will start playing much better than they have for most of the season.
Kent State is averaging just 14.3 points and 287.8 total yards of offense per game this year, with only 15 total touchdowns through nine games. Bowling Green’s offense hasn’t been much better, as the Falcons are averaging 17.8 points and 286.2 total yards per game with 19 total touchdowns on the year. If you’re doing the math at home, the Golden Flashes are averaging fewer than two touchdowns per game, while the Falcons are averaging just over two touchdowns per game.
Kent State scored just 10 points in a 30-10 loss to a previously one-win Sacramento State team in its most recent game on Oct. 30. Sacramento State is allowing 29.3 points per game this year, but the Golden Flashes couldn’t get much going offensively.
Bowling Green also scored 10 points in its most recent game, albeit against a much better Western Michigan team on Oct. 31. However, it’s worth noting that the Falcons had some success before that, averaging 29.3 points per game in the four contests prior, which included their two wins of the season.
Speaking of wins, the Golden Flashes have an interesting trend going this year, averaging 32.3 points per game in their wins but just 5.3 points per game across their six losses.

Kent State vs. Bowling Green Preview for Tuesday Night
Time is running out on the 2026 college football season, and while neither Kent State nor Bowling Green has enjoyed a successful campaign, there are still a few games left to try to finish the year strong and carry momentum into 2027.
Kent State had a tough start to the year with blowout losses to current No. 21 South Carolina and current No. 12 Ohio State, but the Golden Flashes were 2-2 through their first four games with plenty of the season still ahead of them. Unfortunately, they couldn’t capitalize on that .500 start, losing four of their last five games while averaging 12.8 points per game during that span.
The Golden Flashes are coming off an ugly 30-10 loss to Sacramento State that we touched on above. The run game had little success, the offense turned the ball over far too many times, and the defense had trouble stopping Sacramento State’s rushing attack.
Bowling Green started the year 0-4 before winning back-to-back games but is now on a three-game losing streak entering Tuesday night’s matchup. Luckily for the Falcons, they have seemed to be playing better football since Oct. 3, posting a 2-3 record during that stretch and averaging 25.4 points per game.
It wasn’t a great offensive performance for the Falcons in their most recent game, a 23-10 loss to Western Michigan on Oct. 31. Bowling Green scored just one touchdown, and no receiver had more than 41 yards.
Quarterback Jay Kastantin was intercepted twice, while wide receiver Brennan Ridley was also picked off attempting a trick play in the red zone in the fourth quarter with his team trailing 20-10 and about six and a half minutes remaining.
Both teams will look to put their recent performances behind them as they compete for the Anniversary Award in Tuesday night’s rivalry matchup. The traveling trophy was introduced in 1985 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of both Kent State and Bowling Green’s founding as universities under the Lowry Bill in 1910.
