Kent State Golden Flashes vs Oklahoma Sooners Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/04/25

The Kent State Golden Flashes are stocking up the coffers with big-money guarantee games this season, taking their lumps at Texas Tech (62-14) and at Florida State (66-10). The over has cashed in each of the past three games, all losses to FBS teams in which they allowed at least 31 points, with an average of 59.7 points per game (PPG) in the span. Kent State yields 541.8 total yards, 285.5 passing yards and 256.3 rushing yards per game, all of which rank 129th or worse in the country. The total yardage mark ranks 136th.

Oklahoma could very well take care of the over on its own. Keep in mind that QB John Mateer (thumb) is out due to injury, so QB Michael Hawkins Jr. will make the start. He has attempted just 3 passes so far, completing only 1. While he’s the backup, he should be able to cut like a hot knife through butter against a bad Kent State team, racking up big yardage and big points. Mateer is also the leading rusher, so there will be more on the shoulder of RB Tory Blaylock, who has 179 rushing yards and 3 scores while averaging 4.3 yards per game. Look for Blaylock to have a monster game.

Kent State vs Oklahoma prediction: Over 53.5 (-110) at time of publishing. Playable to 55.5.
