From the booth
The model favored KENN to win, and the call landed.
Kennesaw State is absolutely favored here at 98 to win this one, and it's not even close. The oddsmakers have them laying 22 and a half points, the betting markets agree with that assessment, and the Owls' Elo rating gives them a significant edge coming in. West Georgia's got about 2 percent to pull off the upset, but you'd need to see something special from the Wolves, especially after looking at how Kennesaw State's played over their last five games.
