Last week, Vegas released “Games of the Year” lines and Liberty was listed as an 11-point underdog at Ole Miss in the only game in which it was listed. DraftKings sportsbook released over/under win totals for all FBS teams Monday and Liberty’s total was set at 9. This does not included bowl games.
In the Flames’ first two full seasons at the FBS level, Liberty has surpassed its win total set by Vegas each year. In 2019, Liberty’s early season over/under win total was 5.5 and the Flames finished the regular season at 7-5 before winning the team’s 8th game with a win over Georgia Southern in the Cure Bowl. Last year, Liberty’s number was at 7 and the Flames went on to win 9 games in the regular season and a 10th game with a win over Coastal Carolina in the Cure Bowl.
Below are each of Liberty’s opponents’ win totals set by DraftKings. Going by win totals, Vegas sees Liberty with 7 likely wins versus Campbell, Old Dominion, Syracuse, Middle Tennessee, Louisiana-Monroe, North Texas, and UMass. Troy, UAB, Ole Miss, Louisiana, and Army can either be classified as toss-ups or as a bit of a reach for a Liberty win.
- Campbell – n/a
- Troy – 6.5
- Old Dominion – 3.5
- Syracuse – 3
- UAB – 7.5
- Middle Tennessee – 5
- Louisiana-Monroe – 1.5
- North Texas – 4
- UMass – 1.5
- Ole Miss – 7.5
- Louisiana – 9.5
- Army – 8
So are you running to place a bet on the Flames? Does Liberty hit the over or under in the 9 win total?
