Liberty vs Louisiana Tech Prediction

I’m on Liberty in this game. I’m just not a fan of backing Louisiana Tech on the road as they’ve gone 0-4 SU/ATS in their conference road games this season and this Liberty team is time and time again a tough out when they’re playing at home. The Flames haven’t been as dominant as I would’ve expected up to this point in the year, but I think they do enough here to take care of business at home and to secure the win and cover in this one so give me Liberty laying the points.
