Georgia Southern vs. Troy Prediction

I’m on Georgia Southern and the points here. I just don’t think that Troy should be laying this many points against anyone if I’m being honest. The Trojans are the better team here but I still think that Georgia Southern can make it interesting. Troy turns the ball over the most in the Sun Belt in conference play and the Eagles are actually pretty good at forcing turnovers the Trojans also are a 3-point dependent team that doesn’t shoot threes all that well. I’ll take a shot on the Eagles and the points here.
