Liberty vs Jacksonville State Prediction 9/6/2025 Today’s College Football Picks

In this article we will formulate a Liberty vs Jacksonville State prediction for this College Football game on Saturday, September 6th at AmFirst Stadium in Jacksonville, Alabama. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this week 2 matchup. 

Liberty Flames Betting Preview

The Liberty Flames are 1-0 this year after they defeated Maine by a score of 28-7 in their first game. Liberty trailed 7-0 in the second quarter, but they did tie the game at seven right before the half. There were no points scored in the third, but Liberty pulled away in the fourth with 21 points to get the victory. The Flames out gained Maine by a total of 391-316, went 11-19 on third down conversions, and lost the turnover battle by a margin of 2-0. Ethan Vasko went 19-33 for 197 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 63 yards and one score. Caden Williams rushed nine times for 52 yards, while Reese Smith caught six passes for 46 yards and touchdown in the game. The Liberty defense recorded three sacks and six tackles for loss in the contest. 

Liberty had plenty of issues with Maine in their first game last week, but they finally woke up in the fourth quarter to avoid picking up a bad loss. The Flames have a decent quarterback with Vasko under center, but the rushing attack gained nearly 200 yards last week. 

Jacksonville State Gamecocks Betting Preview

The Jacksonville State Gamecocks are 0-1 this season after they lost to UCF by a score of 17-10 in their first game. Jacksonville State was locked in a 0-0 tie at halftime and they actually led 10-3 in the fourth quarter, but they allowed the last 14 points for the heartbreaking loss. Jacksonville State was out gained by a total of 424-322, went 3-15 on third down conversions, and tied the turnover battle at one in the loss. Gavin Wimsatt went 15-29 for 139 yards and one interception, Cam Cook rushed for 75 yards on 17 carries, and Cook also caught four passes for 43 yards in the game. The Jacksonville State defense had two sacks and five tackles in the defeat. 

Jacksonville State battled very hard against their Big 12 opponent in week one, which has to give them some momentum heading into the rest of the season. The Gamecocks need to get more out of their passing game, but the rushing attack was solid with 165 yards. I do think Wimsatt will get better, as he has experience from his time at Rutgers.

Liberty vs Jacksonville State Prediction 

Jacksonville State comes into this contest with an 0-1 record to start the year, but they were definitely the better team in week one. I think that battle with UCF is going to serve the Gamecocks very well, while Liberty was busy trying to get by their FCS opponent. Both teams ran the ball very well in week one, but I have more confidence in Wimsatt under center than I do with Vasko. Take Jacksonville State to keep this game close and cover at home.
