Liberty vs. Seattle Prediction

I’m on Liberty here. I just like the makeup of this Liberty team and the pieces that were brought back. Seattle did a great job of hanging with Eastern Washington, but they still gave up 93 points to an Eastern Washington team that was retooling after a lot of turnovers in the offseason. I think Liberty can roll past Seattle here so give me Liberty.
