The current betting odds have Kennesaw State listed as a 36.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Kennesaw State is 0-1 overall to start the season, but they didn't look bad in their season opener. They had a tough game to open up the season, going on the road against a power 4 school Wake Forest, and they only lost that game by 1 point. The offense wasn't great, only putting up 9 points, but the defense was great as they only gave up 10 points. Meanwhile, Indiana is 1-0 overall and they have some big shoes to fill after the season they had last year, but they didn't looked great in their season opener. They were at home against Old Dominion and won 27-14, but the offense didn't look great and the defense didn't look nearly as good as it was last season. Now they are at home again and they are an even bigger favorite here, but they didn't cover the spread in week 1 and they will struggle getting to this number with the Kennesaw State defense looking a lot better. Indiana is also a ranked team and that was a tough environment that Kennesaw played in week 1 so they are going to bring their best effort for Indiana and have already been tested on the road against a power 4 school. Indiana is still working out the kinks in their offense so they aren't going to put up a ton of points on this defense, and the Indiana defense isn't going to shut them down like they were doing to teams last season. The best way to place a bet here is on Kennesaw State to cover the spread in this game.
