Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders vs. Liberty Flames Betting Preview
The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders are looking to win back-to-back games for the first time on this season’s NCAAF schedule. In the recent win over Louisiana Tech, Nicholas Vattiato threw for 248 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for a touchdown. On the season, Vattiato has thrown for nearly 1,900 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Looking at their college football players, Holden Willis has been the top target in the passing game. Jaiden Credle is the top running back, but the Blue Raiders have struggled to run the ball. Credle has two rushing touchdowns, and Middle Tennessee ranks 107th in all of College Football in rushing.
The Blue Raiders’ other win this season was over Murray State. This is the first of back-to-back road games for Middle Tennessee, but with their bye week in between. The next road game is at New Mexico State. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders picks will be interesting as the season winds down, as they are desperate for wins to try to get to six.
Flames on Fire
The Liberty Flames have scored 25.3 points per game, which is 27th in all of College Football. The defense has been solid as well, allowing opponents to score just 17.2 points per game.
The ground game has been the big difference for Liberty. On the season, the Flames are averaging more than 253 yards per game. That ranks second in all of College Football.
The lead running back has been Quinton Cooley, with nearly 100 carries and 600 yards, with three touchdowns. Quarterback Kaiden Salter is second on the team and leads with six touchdowns. Billy Lucas also is nearing 300 rushing yards and averaging just shy of 6 yards per attempt.
The Flames will look for their 7th straight win before heading to Western Kentucky next week, before a trio of home games in November.
Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders vs. Liberty Flames Betting Prediction
This one is not hard to figure out. One team is much better at running the football and playing defense than the other. Too much Salter and Cooley in this game, and Liberty bleeds the clock down and out with the lead.
Barring any late changes to the college football injury report, Liberty wins this game by two or more touchdowns.
- Our final Middle Tennessee vs Liberty betting analysis: Bet on Liberty Flames -13.5 on Tuesday.
