The Liberty Flames will host the Bowling Green Falcons to start their respective 2023 campaigns. Kickoff is scheduled at 12:00 p.m. ET on September 2nd at Williams Stadium.
Liberty were ranked third in the nation in sacks last season, with 40 over the course of the season. Bowling Green did well in that department too, as they were ranked 18th with 37 in total.
Looking ahead to Saturday, Liberty is the favorite in this one, and the experts expect to see them win by eight points. They finished last season with a 6-7 record against the spread.
Liberty ought to be happy about their advantage in the spread: the team was a solid 5-3 when favored last season. While their fans probably aren't happy about it, betting on the team to lose was the smart play last year, and bettors who put $100 on that outcome every game finished the season up $1,867.99. Sadly, Bowling Green will open their season as the underdog, and the team was 4-5 as such last year.
