The Liberty Flames are not only playing the better ball right now, but they’ve been a buzz saw at home, where they win by an average of 25.1 points and shoot 50.4 percent from the field. Liberty is also 13-2 ATS at home. It’s hard to go against that level of dominance. Give me Liberty and the chalk.
