It looks like Liberty is doing pretty good. I mean, they're 5-1 against the spread this season, and they've got the same record as a favorite. So, they're obviously the team to watch. On the other side, MTSU is not having the best time. They're 2-5 against the spread, and only 1-4 as an underdog. I started to write these down in my notebook, just to keep track of everything.
- Liberty: 5-1 ATS this .etirovseason, 5-1 ATS as a favorite.
- MTSU: 2-5 ATS this season, 1-4 ATS as an underdog.
After that, I dug a little deeper. I read some articles, and they were basically saying that MTSU's chances of making it to the Conference USA Championship are pretty slim, not to mention a third consecutive bowl game. It's a bummer for them, for sure. I felt like I needed more, so I went through some more recent game stats, comparing their performances.
I started putting together a prediction based on all this. It's not just about the numbers, you gotta look at the bigger picture. Team morale, recent games, injuries – it all plays a part. I spent a good chunk of my afternoon doing this. Even made myself a little chart to visualize the data, because why not, right?
The Prediction
Based on what I found, it seems like Liberty is in a much better position. They're performing well, especially as the favorite, while MTSU is struggling. Of course, anything can happen in sports, but if I had to put money on it, I'd lean towards Liberty. I finalized my prediction, and it felt pretty solid. It's always interesting to see how these things play out, right? That's the fun of it. Now, I'm curious to see how close I get when the game actually happens.
