Liberty vs. Kennesaw State prediction and best bet

My best choice
Freedom -25.5 (-110 at FanDuel)
Picks made at the time of writing may not reflect live odds.

My analysis
The Liberty Flames put up 33 points per game and led their conference in rushing, amassing 231 yards per game.

Meanwhile, the winless Kennesaw State Owls are the lowest-scoring team in the C-USA — scoring just 13 points per game — while rushing for a meager 102 yards per game (ninth in the conference). Things don't get any better in the air, as their 126 passing yards per game are also in the basement.

Kennesaw State suffered its first single-digit loss of the season, falling to Middle Tennessee 14-5. The Owls managed just one safety in the first quarter and a field goal with 11 seconds left in the game.

Although the Owls' defense isn't as bad as their offense, this team won't be able to keep up with the Flames for four quarters. Liberty will use this game to jump into the CFP talks.

Liberty vs. Kennesaw State, Match Game Negotiation (SGP)

Freedom -25.5

Kaidon Salter Over 202.5 yards

Kennesaw State Over 9.5 points

Due to Kaidon Salter's poor performance against FIU, his passing skills are underrated in the books and his line sits at a very attainable 202.5 yards. He's easily hit that number in each of his last four starts this year.

The Owls are allowing 236 yards per game through the air this year. One exceptional attempt against Middle Tennessee isn't enough to sway me.

Kennesaw State's scoring output has also taken a hit after their abysmal performance last game in which they only scored five points, but that is their worst performance they have had all year. In fact, even when the Owls were defeated in their last five games, they still exceeded Wednesday's 9.5-point mark each time.

Liberty is the highest scoring defense in C-USA, but allows every opponent to score at least 10 points while giving up 21.2 points per contest.
