Game Details
CUSA rivals collide on Wednesday, Oct. 23, when the unbeaten Liberty Flames (5–0) visit the struggling Kennesaw State Owls (0–6) at Fifth Third Stadium in Kennesaw, Ga. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET, with live coverage on CBS Sports Network and streaming available via Fubo.

Moneyline Analysis & Pick
We project a convincing Liberty victory, around 33–17. The Flames are overwhelming favorites at roughly –3200, while the Owls sit near +1300. Liberty has notched five straight moneyline wins this season—including their lone outing as a –3200 favorite—and boasts an implied win probability north of 97%. Kennesaw State, by contrast, is 0-6 as an underdog and has yet to spoil the board when priced at +1295 or higher.

Against the Spread Recommendation
Take Kennesaw State at +23½. Though Liberty holds a lone ATS triumph this year, they’re 0–4 when laid down 23½ points or more. The Owls, meanwhile, covered by that margin in the one contest they faced such a large underdog line, making +23½ the savvy play.

Total Points Forecast
Lean toward the Over 45½. Four of Liberty’s five games have eclipsed that number, while Kennesaw State has only seen one such high-scoring affair. Combined, both teams average about 46 points per game—just enough to tip this matchup past the posted total.
