Having not played since Sept. 21 due to a game cancellation, Liberty gets back on the field on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET (CBSSN) against FIU at Williams Stadium in Lynchburg, Va.
- The Flames are one of the Group of Five College Football Playoff odds favorites, which is why we think they'll cover in our FIU vs. Liberty prediction
- Liberty's Kaidon Salter is viewed as the top QB in the C-USA and entered the season as one of the G5's best Heisman Trophy odds candidates
- The Panthers lost 38-6 to the Flames at home last season
Liberty's a 19.5-point home favorite at our college football betting sites, in a game that likely won't be close.

Liberty vs. FIU opening odds:
- FIU: +20 (-110)
- Liberty: -20 (-110)
The most notable thing FIU has done this season is sell its stadium naming rights to Mr. 305 himself to rename its home field Pitbull Stadium. The second most notable thing? Unveiling these 'Vice U' uniforms.
This is an unserious football program that handed Monmouth its first-ever FBS win a few weeks ago. Head coach Mike MacIntyre is 10-19 since taking over the program in 2022, while Jamey Chadwell won more games in his first season at Liberty last year (13).
FIU's defense is one of the worst in the country – 112th in SP+ – and stands no chance against Salter, Quinton Cooley, and Treon Sibley. Those three have the Flames 42nd in SP+ on offense.
And it's not as if the Panthers are capable of keeping up. They scored just 17 on a horrific Louisiana Tech program two weeks ago and are 109th in EPA per dropback and 98th in EPA per rush.
Liberty should win this game by several scores, I'm thinking 45-17. If they do, a $10 bet pays a $9.52 profit.
Best odds: -105 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 51.22%

FIU vs. Liberty prop pick for Week 7
Our NEW college football player prop odds tool can help you find the best odds on any market across legal sportsbooks in your area!
Honestly, I'm surprised the odds are this long for Quinton Cooley to score twice against the Panthers – this price pays a $21 profit on a $10 winning bet.
FIU is 120th in EPA per rush on defense while Liberty is 38th in EPA per rush on offense. Chadwell's spread option attack gives Cooley plenty of opportunities for explosive plays and he's sixth in the G5 in 15-plus-yard runs (7) and 10th in yards after contact per carry (4.38), per PFF.
The Panthers allow 186 rushing yards per game and have given up the 11th-most rushing TDs this season (13). Cooley will be like a fireball running through this defense, causing tacklers to timber on contact.
Best odds: +210 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 32.26%
