The model knows the Falcons enter tonight’s showdown having covered the spread in five of their last six games against Kent State. In order to cover again on Friday, Bowling Green will need a huge performance from Justin Turner. 

The sophomore guard has been filling the stat sheet in recent weeks, averaging over 21 points and 5.6 rebounds in his last five outings. And he’s been lethal from behind the arc on the road, knocking down 55 percent of his 3-point attempts in his last two road games.

But just because Turner has been red-hot for the Falcons doesn’t mean they’ll cover the Bowling Green vs. Kent State spread on Friday.

Four players are averaging double-digit points entering Friday’s matchup, including senior Jaylin Walker. The 6-foot-3 guard is an extremely difficult matchup for opposing defenders and he enters tonight’s game averaging 21.4 points, which ranks 26th in the country. He’s also proven to be a lethal shooter from behind the arc, knocking down four or more 3-pointers in 11 games this season.
