Memphis Tigers

For the most part, bowl games tend to be played at a neutral venue, but we do get a few games each year that offer up a definite home field advantage. That is what we are getting with this one, as Memphis will be playing in their own building. This is going to be very much like a regular home game for the Tigers, but they will that be enough to keep them in a game where they are certainly a bit of an underdog. Memphis finished the season with a 9-3 record, finishing the season strong by winning 5 of their final 6 games. That’s a positive, but on the downside, they have lost each of the last 9 games that they started as an underdog. They are also a tough bet against the spread, going 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games played on a Friday. The OVER has hit in each of their last 6 games overall.

Iowa State Cyclones

It was a strange sort of season for the Cyclones, as they struggled in the first half before getting on a much better roll in the second half. They won 5 of their last 7 to close out the regular season, and when you consider that one of those losses came at the hands of the Texas Longhorns, a team that made the playoffs, their finish looks that much better. These teams have met once before, and it was Iowa State winning a close one in that meeting, but the spread suggests this one might not be quite so close. The Cyclones have covered in 5 of their last 7 games overall, but they are also 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games played in the month of December. The UNDER has hit in 14 of their last 20 games overall.

Liberty Bowl Score Prediction Memphis vs Iowa State

While it is certainly nice for the Memphis Tigers to have home field advantage here, I’m not so sure it will make that much of a difference in the end. I like the Cyclones to win, but I also think the Tigers might cover the spread. I also like the OVER in this one.
