Sam Houston State Bearkats at Liberty Flames (-18.5, 46.5)
The path to a perfect season is very much a reality for Liberty. The Flames play a very weak schedule in Conference USA and have a weak non-conference slate as well. Don’t let that take away from how well this team is playing, though. Liberty has scored at least 33 points in every game and is 4-0 with four wins by double digits.
Head coach Jamey Chadwell has come in and had instant success, despite an offense that can be a little bit tricky to grasp. Early returns at Coastal Carolina when he was hired as offensive coordinator and then filled in as head coach for Joe Moglia weren’t great, but once he got an experienced QB in Grayson McCall, everything clicked. It sure seems to have clicked for Kaidon Salter, who has an 11/1 TD/INT ratio and has only been sacked three times.
