Liberty vs. Toledo Prediction, Odds, Lines, Picks, and Preview- December 20

Our College Football Bowl Season coverage rolls on as we dive into the Boca Raton Bowl match-up between the Liberty Flames and the Toledo Rockets.

The Toledo Rockets feel great about themselves entering this contest, having won the MAC title. The Rockets were the most complete team in the MAC and one of the most complete teams in the country, finishing first in offense and defense in the MAC in 2022.

The Liberty Flames limp into this game, losing their final three games, and have now lost their Head Coach to Auburn. Shortly after the regular season, Hugh Freeze accepted the job as the new Head Coach of the Auburn Tigers. Both teams average over 400 yards of offense. We could be in for a shoot-out in the Boca Raton Bowl.

Liberty Flames vs. Toledo Rockets Best Pick

The Liberty Flames and the Toledo Rockets have shown their ability to pile on points throughout the 2022 season. Liberty QB Jonathan Bennett is an athletic signal-caller that causes defenses trouble through the air and on the ground. DeQuan Finn fits a similar profile.

When the play breaks down, both quarterbacks can make a play off-script. Expect both defenses to make the Quarterbacks win from the pocket, throwing the ball down the field. Since we expect a high-scoring affair, take the Over on the passing yards for DeQuan Finn.

DeQuan Finn, QB, Toledo Rockets, 210.5 Passing Yards: Over

Liberty Flames vs. Toledo Rockets Final Prediction

The Liberty Flames have been their own worst enemy in 2022. Liberty can move the ball up and down the field. The problem is that only three teams in college football have had more turnovers than Liberty. Turnovers alter games and change momentum more than anything else in football. Combine that statistic with the fact that Liberty is dealing with a Head Coaching change, and you can see some inconsistencies and miscommunications becoming an issue in this one.

If Liberty turns the ball over, Toledo will take the ball and score quickly. I’m taking the more consistent team with the fewest question marks. Pick the Toledo Rockets and take the over.
