Liberty is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against the ACC and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. The under is 5-2-1 in Liberty’s last 8 games on turf. Wake Forest is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 September games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. The under is 4-1 in Wake Forest’s last 5 games.
Wake Forest has their star quarterback back in the lineup and looked very good in their last game. Liberty was able to scratch out a tight victory against UAB, but will have their hands full here. I like the over in this game as I think Wake Forest will score between 40 and 50 and Liberty will have their chances as well.
