Kennesaw State vs Liberty Prediction
Liberty is the better team and is rolling with a 4-0 SU and ATS record in its last four games. The Flames should be favored. However, while piling up the losses, Kennesaw State has covered 7 of its last 10 games, and that includes three straight covers as an underdog. Kennesaw State has been in every game this season for the most part, and a bounce here or bounce there, we’re looking at a different picture. Kennesaw State has lost its last three games by a combined seven points. I’ll grab the points with the Owls.
