Troy vs Southern Miss Prediction
If there was ever a game for Southern Miss to get up for, it’s senior night with a roster that has double-digit seniors. I still can’t grab the points. Southern Miss is in awful form with losses in nine of its last 10 games and is getting drilled defensively. Southern Miss has allowed 80 or more points in five of its last nine games. Troy is fighting for a top seed in the Sun Belt and is a profitable 16-11 ATS on the season. I have to lay the points with Troy on the road.Â
