We’re breaking down the public betting splits and how the lines for West Virginia and Army have shifted in the Liberty Bowl.

After the Army Black Knights were initially not invited to a bowl game despite nine wins, they will face the West Virginia Mountaineers at 4:00 p.m. in the Liberty Bowl. m. ET.

The Black Knights (9-2) won three straight games to end the season, including their most recent win over rival Air Force. The army relies on the triple option which can create problems for different teams that they haven’t seen or played against. The Black Knights averaged 281. 3 rushing yards per game, good for fourth place in the NCAA.

The climbers (5-4) come into this bowl game after a horrific 42-6 loss to the Iowa State Cyclones. In the last five games, West Virginia has a record of 2-3. The climbers have one major offense, an average of 422. 7 meters and 277. 2 yards per game.

Where are the sports bettors going as we near game time? Let’s take a look. All odds and information were provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.

The climbers are preferred by 6. 5 points towards New Year’s Eve. West Virginia also receives 55% of the bets and 58% of the grip.

In that case, the public could be at the wrong end of the spread. The Mountaineers have only played three games in the past two months while the Army has played more in the same amount of time. The Black Knights can also play football, which means they can control the time of the possession battle. In West Virginia’s last game against Iowa State, they allowed the Cyclones to build 236 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

The score for this matchup is set at 41. As of now, 51% of the bets and 64% of the grip are on the under’s side.

I’m going to say no here because 41 points just seem too low for two teams with different philosophies. Granted, it makes sense why the public goes down because the army is not a team that scores high or gives up. But we’ve seen West Virginia have moments when they can score.

The climbers have a chance of winning of -275, the odds of the Black Knights is 215. Of the moneyline bets placed for this game, West Virginia sees 65% of the bets and 46% of the handle.

Yes, the public is right when it comes to the money line. Although the climbers haven’t played much in the past few months due to COVID-19, they have better playmakers on offense and defense. It won’t be a blowout and should last through the last quarter.

The opponent’s late switch to the triple option as well as COVID-19 issues in Knoxville are likely making this difficult to diagnose. If the Army leaves the field early, it could be a long day in Memphis for the Vols.
