The UTEP Miners have gotten off to a rocky, to put it mildly, start to the 2024 College Football season at 0-2 dropping the first two games of the year. The Miners have managed to gain a total of 209 yards on the season 149 passing and 56 rushing. For a total of 31 points on the season.

Defensively the Miners have given up 513 yards 223 rushing and 284 passing and a total of 67 points. And are ranked 246th in 3rd down conversions at 64%.

In the last outing the Miners faced Southern Utah, were the Miners lead for the majority of the contest until the 4th quarter where the Eagles were able to tie the game to go to overtime and ultimately win by a field goal.

The Liberty Flames continue to build upon the success they've seen in recent history with a 2-0 start to the 2024 College Football season. The Flames offense is rocking on all cylinders having racked up 279 rushing yards and 254 passing yards for a total of 533 offensive yards and 61 points so far on the season.

Defensively the Flames are rather stingy and make key plays at critical moments in games to keep them in comfortable positions. Allowing only 310 total yards 194 passing and 116 rushing and a total of 48 points.

In the last outing the Flames were able to hold on and secure the victory on the road against the New Mexico Lobos 30-24.

We like the under in this matchup. UTEPs offense leaves much for the Miners fans to be defensive about and we think we will continue to see issues on that side of the ball for UTEP. While the Flames do have some offensive stability we don't think they will be able to carry the total of 57.5 by themselves. Our best bet is the under 57.5. Final score prediction, the Liberty Flames win covers the spread and the total stays under 35-12.
