Kennesaw St. Owls vs Middle Tenn. St. Blue Raiders Predictions October 28, 2026
Middle Tennessee will beat Kennesaw State 24-20 in our Oct. 28 forecast. The Blue Raiders' balanced offense against FIU, including 248 rushing yards, gives them the stronger recent performance entering this matchup. Kennesaw State's six-point showing against Liberty adds to that advantage, but the limited comparison leaves no actionable wager at Middle Tennessee -2.5 or the 49.5 total.
Kennesaw St. Owls vs Middle Tenn. St. Blue Raiders prediction and best bet
Middle Tennessee gets the pick because its latest win featured productive rushing, an interception-free passing performance and a long possession to finish the game. Those are useful ingredients against Kennesaw State, which struggled to score and surrendered two interceptions in its latest defeat.
The distinction is how much to trust that comparison. Middle Tennessee beat FIU 26-23 despite gaining 448 yards and forcing three turnovers. Kennesaw State lost 34-6 to Liberty, a different opponent presenting a different test. Those results favor the Blue Raiders, but they leave considerable uncertainty about Wednesday's margin. The forecast is Middle Tennessee 24, Kennesaw State 20. The official betting recommendation is Pass.
