Wednesday night #MACtion presented a million dollar matchup — literally, at least to one college football fan. Prior to kickoff Wednesday, Pickswise reported one bettor at Hard Rock Casinos placed seven figures on underdog Kent State to cover 10.5 points against Bowling Green. But even beyond that heavily-invested bettor, the stakes remainder high under the Wednesday night lights at Dix Stadium in Kent, OH.
Kent State and Bowling Green compete for the Anniversary Award on an annual basis — an award that has been shelved within the Golden Flashes’ trophy case for five-straight meetings. And to add fuel to the rivalry game, bowl eligibility was also on the line for Bowling Green — a postseason-starved program which had only claimed one bowl appearance since 2016.
