Point Spread Pick for Troy vs. Southern Miss
- Southern Miss Golden Eagles -6.5 (4 Units)
Southern Mississippi has the edge here because they have a balanced offense that can beat opponents on the ground or through the air. The Trojans have a decent pass defense, but their run defense is one of the worst in the country, with the team giving up more than 185 yards per game on the ground, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Golden Eagles.
Troy will have a hard time keeping up offensively because they has one of the worst ground games in the country and rely heavily on their passing game. The Golden Eagles don’t have to worry about the Trojans beating them on the ground, which will allow them to keep pressure on the opposing quarterback and force him to make costly mistakes. Go with Southern Mississippi to cover the spread.
