1. Liberty at WKU
LINE: WKU -14
ATS PICK: Liberty
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
WKU has a good enough team to potentially win the Conference USA title, and it wasn’t awful against Louisville in last week’s loss, but the program has only scored more than 24 points 13 times in the last 36 games against FBS teams. It got past the 24-point mark just three times over the last 13 games going back to last year’s FBS opener at FIU.
Liberty is coming in without a first game to use as a tune-up, but it has a whole lot of good parts in place to be fine right out of the gate.
The running game should be fantastic, Hugh Freeze is still an SEC-caliber head coach, and there’s enough experience across the board to to stay focused and in the game even though it’s the opener.
But again, this is really more about a WKU team that’s not going to blow the doors off with its offense. At best, it’s still likely going to hang around the high 20s – it only scores more than 30 three times last season.
Liberty should be good enough to score two touchdowns and at least flirt with the 20s.
