Liberty Flames vs. Bradley Braves Prediction
I’m on Liberty here. I just don’t trust the Braves in their current form as I gave them the benefit of the doubt against UCSD, but the Braves just don’t have the same punch right now as past Braves teams that have been one of the best mid-major teams over the years. Liberty is shooting the lights out right now, and I think the Flames get the job done here. Give me Liberty.
