Jacksonville State is coming into this game with a 4-3 record this season and they are 3-0 in the conference. They have been on fire recently as they have won their last 4 straight games, 3 of those being in conference play, but they have also had a very weak schedule so far. Their 3 wins in the conference came against Kennesaw State, New Mexico State, and Middle Tennessee who are all in the bottom 4 of the conference. They have only played 1 of those on the road as well and it was against Kennesaw State who only has 1 win this season and is in the 1st year of being in the FBS. They have struggled against better teams this season as well, losing a close game to Eastern Michigan and getting blown out in their games against Coastal Carolina and Louisville. They are going up against a Liberty team that is 5-1 this season and they are 3-1 in the conference. They are coming off of an awful loss in their last game, losing on the road against Kennesaw State, but they are going to be hungry to bounce back here as they have been much better at home. They are also the defending champions of the conference and this is a big game for them to get back into the title race since Jacksonville State is still undefeated in the conference. Liberty has won all 4 of their games at home this season and their offense has been much better in those, scoring 28+ points in each game. Liberty has also been better on defense at home and they will be able to defend well in this game as Jacksonville State is a run heavy team and Liberty has a good run defense this season, allowing 115.7 rushing yards per game. Liberty also has a very strong running game themselves and Jacksonville State has not been stopping the run well this season. Liberty is going to be hungry to bounce back at home after a bad loss and they need to win this game to have any chance of getting back to the Conference USA Championship. Liberty will cover the spread in this game.
