Liberty vs. Kennesaw State Pick
Spread Pick for Liberty vs. Kennesaw State
- Kennesaw State Owls -2 (4 units)
Both Kennesaw State and Liberty have strong defenses, while their offenses are also scoring similar numbers of points. Therefore, turnovers, big plays, and defense in the red zone will be key factors in determining who wins this. Kennesaw State has far more incentive to win as the Owls will reach the Conference USA championship game with a victory, while Liberty, which has lost three straight, can not even become bowl-eligible with a win. Kennesaw State has covered the spread in six of its last eight games overall, while Liberty has covered the spread in just one of its last five games, and the Flames are 4-12 ATS in the last 16 games against a Conference USA team. Kennesaw State quarterback Amari Odom (1,899 yards passing, 307 yards rushing, 19 TDs) will get enough done through the air and on the ground to help push the Owls to a victory on the road Saturday.
Over/Under Pick for Liberty vs. Kennesaw State
- Over 55.5 (4 units)
The total has been over in four of Kennesaw State's last six games and in four of Liberty's last five games.
