A lot of that success is attributed to the offense. Liberty’s offense has been on a tear of late as they have averaged over 45 points per game in their last seven games. They have a strong rushing attack and average over 300 rushing yards per game. Liberty is also third in the nation in total yards per game with 514.9. The only teams that have more yards than the Flames are Oregon and Washington.
While the offense has been the focal point of this Liberty team, the defense has not been bad either. Liberty ranked second in their conference in scoring defense, allowing just 22.1 points per game. The Flames had one of the easiest schedules in college football this season, but they were able to do what they were supposed to do against their opponents.
Oregon Betting Trends
The Ducks were in contention for the College Football Playoff all season until they fell to Washington for the second time in the Pac 12 Championship game. Now they place the G5 representative Flames in the Fiesta Bowl. The Ducks went 9-3-1 against the spread on the year despite playing ten games with double-digit spreads. Oregon went 6-2 against the spread this season when the spread of 16.5 or more.

Perhaps the biggest news in this matchup is that Bo Nix will be playing in this game. His top receiver Troy Franklin opted out to prepare for the NFL draft, but the Ducks will still have plenty of weapons in the Fiesta Bowl. Oregon averaged the second most yards per game (526.6) in the nation this season, only trailing LSU. They also scored the second most amount of points per game with 44.2.
Oregon’s defense is also a strong unit, as they allowed just 17.3 points per game this season.
Liberty vs Oregon Prediction
The high total in this game makes sense as the No. 2 and No. 3 offenses in the country will be squaring off. Even with the total moving up, it is the right play.
Liberty will be extremely motivated to show that they belong in this bowl game, so they will find ways to get points, and Liberty’s defense has not been tested this season. Expect Oregon’s Bo Nix-led offense to put up fireworks in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Day.
