Liberty vs Kennesaw State Prediction       

In this Liberty vs Kennesaw State Prediction, Liberty is coming as -2.5 road favorites. Liberty has been the better team this season and has been scorching-hot lately with a 9-1 record in its last 10 games but 1-5 against the spread. Kennesaw is 2-3 in its last 5 games but 2-7 against the spread in its last 9, so I see no value on either side. Kennesaw has the 41st-best offense in the country and Liberty is 6-1 to the over in its last 7 games so I expect a high-scoring affair. Take the over 155.5 points in this one.
