Georgia looks to continue their National Title chase while Kent State just hopes to hang around for a bit.
We all know the game by now. G5 programs — and even into the FCS level — will always take large paychecks to go play the tippy top of P5. Sometimes, one of those G5 teams shocks the world and wins outright (looking at you, App State).
This is not one of those games. Georgia is clearly the best team in the country, they’re on a level of their own. Kent State is the untrained fighter entering the Colosseum against a veteran gladiator; they’re just there to entertain the masses.
Georgia Bulldogs
Georgia is the best team in the country, and it’s so starkly clear they’re better than all other teams, that most (including myself) consider them in their own tier.
Stetson Bennett has worked his way into the Heisman conversation and for good reason. Through 3 games, Bennett has thrown for 952 yards, 5 touchdowns and has added 3 more on the ground. Georgia is currently leading the country in offensive success rate.
Brock Bowers had a massive game against South Carolina with 5 catches, 121 yards and 2 scores. RB Kendall Milton is a do-it-all guy, leading the rushing attack and adding to the receiving game. It’s also impossible not to notice TE Darnell Washington at 6’7 270. (!!)
Maybe most of the star power from Georgia’s defense is gone to the NFL, but they still get the job done with a top 25 defensive success rate. Surprisingly though, they’ve only recorded 1 sack through 3 games which checks out at 59th in defensive Havoc.
Kent State Golden Flashes
Kent State has changed into a rushing offense following the graduation of Dustin Crum. The Golden Flashes run on 66% of offensive plays, good enough for 7th in the nation. They’ll be up against a Bulldog defense that ranks 27th in defensive rushing success rate. Kent State has managed their own in the trenches coming in at 37th in the country in offensive line yards.
Where this gets interesting is through the air. We’ve discussed Georgia’s ability and reliance in and on the passing game, but the Flashes rank 117th in defensive passing success rate. They’ve allowed 345 yards and 4 TD to Michael Penix in week 1 and 296 yards and 3 TD to Dillon Gabriel in week 2. Stetson Bennett has the perfect matchup this week.

4* Free Georgia Bulldogs vs. Kent State Golden Flashes NCAA Betting Final Analysis:
The real question is, can Kent State keep it close? This is a massive number for Georgia to try and cover, and SEC play begins in full next week. We always need to be mindful of look ahead spots.
Given their offensive play style, I think Kent State can cover this number. They like to run the ball and have the offensive line yards and success rate that convinces me they can move the ball and burn the clock.
Georgia will score at will and may slow down as they have a conference game next week. Give me the Golden Flashes getting 45.
