Kennesaw State vs. Western Kentucky Prediction

I’m on Western Kentucky here. I know Kennesaw’s coming off of the upset win over Liberty catching this same sort of number, but I think that was an overrated Liberty team from the jump this season. WKU has come on strong as the season’s progressed and I don’t see Kennesaw putting up a fight two weeks in a row. Give me the Hilltoppers here.
