Liberty at Kennesaw State picks and predictions
Prediction
Liberty 35, Kennesaw State 13
Moneyline
There is no bet here. Liberty is a massive favorite, and we’ll just go straight to the spread.
PASS.
Against the spread
Despite looking like a turtle on a highway last week, I like the Owls here. As mentioned, Liberty has not been able to put teams away and cover the spread. Now, Kennesaw State is just 1-5 ATS as well, but Liberty has allowed 24 points in 4 of 5 games, and those teams weren’t exactly oozing machismo.
Take KENNESAW STATE +24.5 (-110).

Over/Under
Liberty is 5-4-1 O/U in their last 10. Kennesaw is just 1-5 O/U this year, but this is a pretty small number. As mentioned, Liberty’s defense has allowed exactly 24 points in 4 of 5 games. They’ve also scored at least 28 points in 5 straight.
Take the OVER 45.5 (-115).
