South Alabama Jaguars vs. Troy Trojans Prediction

I’m on Troy here. I know it feels like it could be a buy low spot for South Alabama, who hasn’t looked good as of late, but until the Jaguars get back on track defensively I have a hard time giving South Alabama the benefit of the doubt. The Jaguars have really had issues, giving up 30+ points in four straight games, and I just think that the Trojans are the better team defensively which will be the difference here. Give me the Trojans here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Troy -1.5
