Liberty vs UTEP Prediction

Liberty is piling up the wins and can be trusted on the road, but it’s not covering numbers lately. Liberty has failed to cover its last 3 games and 5 of its last 8 games overall. UTEP has covered 4 straight games and 7 of its last 9 games. Liberty beat UTEP a month ago, but that was a competitive game for the first 30 minutes. At home, where eight of UTEP’s 10 wins have come, the Miners should look to hang around again. I’ll grab the points with the home team.
