Jacksonville State Betting News
Rich Rodriguez takes his high-flying offense to Lynchburg, Virginia, looking to keep the momentum rolling. The Gamecocks have both won and covered the spread in four straight games since beginning the season 0-3 SU and ATS.
Senior quarterback Tyler Huff leads Jacksonville State with 1,406 passing yards and eight touchdowns. However, he is even more lethal in the rushing game. Huff’s churned out 654 rushing yards and eight more touchdowns on the ground. The Gamecocks tempo spread offense devastates unprepared opponents, and Liberty hasn’t seen anything like it this season.

Due to the fact that their offense plays with tempo and racks up yardage, Jacksonville State’s defensive stats aren’t pretty. They allow over 400 total yards, 5.7 yards per play and allow opponents to convert on 43% of third-downs. Most concerningly, the Gamecocks allow a touchdown on over 82% of opponent red-zone trips.
Keep in mind, the Jacksonville State Gamecocks are just 1-4 SU in their last five games on the road.
Liberty Betting News
Led by junior quarterback Jaidon Salter, the Liberty offense is an efficient unit. The Flames score 29.6 points per game on six yards per play and convert nearly 44% of third-downs. Liberty’s spectacular rushing attack takes on most of the burden, as the Flames sit 11th in rushing yards per contest at 211. When called upon, Salter has been fantastic, tossing for 1,280 yards with ten touchdowns and just two interceptions thus far.

Defensively, Liberty’s stats look great. The Flames sit 33rd in defensive success rate and 18th in net expected points added allowed per drive. However, those stats are heavily skewed. Liberty have faced five awful offenses in a row in New Mexico State, UTEP, East Carolina, FIU, and Kennesaw State. Each team’s attacking unit ranks outside of the top-100 in the country. They’ll find stopping a Gamecocks offense firing on all cylinders to be a much tougher task.
Beware of the fact that Liberty are just 2-4 ATS in their last six games at home.
