FIU vs. Liberty Week 7 Prediction | College Football Picks Today, Best Bets

The undefeated Liberty Flames are set to take on the FIU Panthers in a Tuesday night showdown. FIU hopes to pull off an upset while Liberty has its sights set on a 5-0 start. That said, here’s what you need to know ahead of tonight’s kickoff.

FIU vs. Liberty 

Location: Williams Stadium (Virginia) | Time: 7:00 PM ET | Where to Watch: CBSSN
Spread: Liberty -17.5, Moneyline: Liberty -850, Total: 55.5

FIU vs. Liberty Best Bet: FIU +17.5

With FIU entering as heavy underdogs, it’s clear the Panthers aren’t expected to win this matchup. However, Mike MacIntyre’s squad has enough talent to at least put enough points up to avoid Liberty covering the spread. With a 17.5-point spread, FIU can stay in this game long enough not to go down by three scores.

FIU vs. Liberty Best Total Bet: Under 55.5

Liberty has the firepower to put points on the board in a hurry and if FIU hopes to stick around, they may need to find the endzone multiple times if they have any hope of winning. If the Panthers can put up at least 17 points, not only could a final score of 33-17 keep the Flames from covering the spread, but the two teams would also hit the under of the set 55.5 total.

FIU Best Player Bet: Eric Rivers Any Time Touchdown +210

Eric Rivers has been one of the most consistent playmakers in the Panthers’ offense up to this point in the season. The junior has reeled in 19 receptions for 353 yards and three touchdowns on the year. In a game FIU likely trails for the majority of, they’ll likely have to depend on their passing game to give them a chance to put points on the board.

Liberty Best Player Bet: Treon Sibley Any Time Touchdown +105

Treon Sibley has been the top target of standout quarterback Kaidon Salter this year. The shifty receiver has racked up 357 receiving yards on the season but has only found his way into the endzone once. Sibley could change that tonight with a big performance against the Panthers. If the two can find their connection early, it could be a long night for FIU.
