Southern Miss Golden Eagles vs. Troy Trojans Prediction

I’m on Troy here. I just think that Troy is the better team in this game, and Southern Miss just doesn’t have the horses to break through here against this tough Troy defense. The Sun Belt is known for having some chaotic results, but Troy’s been the best team in the conference in my eyes and I think they get another one here.
