Liberty vs Sam Houston Prediction

I’m here on Liberty. Normally a home game on senior night with the whole world at stake and a spot in the conference title game on the line would keep me interested, but the problem with the Bearkats is that the offense has been floundering lately is month or so. Liberty is a team that I think has been overrated all season, but there’s no denying what the Flames have done in recent weeks to give this game some much-needed momentum. Give me the flames here.
