The McNeese Cowboys are playing well enough to gibe an honest look, and their offense is rolling. However, it’s the Liberty Flames that have more balance to their attack, and they’re 5-1 ATS on the season. Liberty has held 7 of its last 8 opponents under 70 points. That defensive pressure usually works to a teams favor when playing a second game in as many days. Give me Liberty and whatever the line is.
