The Troy Trojans have been the team to beat in the Sun Belt Conference for the past few seasons. Their win over Arkansas State solidified their chances to get it done again this season. This class of players has had their share of problems with FIU however, as they have won the last two, but have failed to cover the number. They may be facing another difficult task on the road in this one. The Panthers have dropped four games, but have already taken down big numbers against Alabama and Rutgers. While sitting at 1-4 straight up, they are 3-2 ATS. The Panthers have gotten their offense on track, producing 34.3 ppg in their last three games and Troy hasn't been so defensive allowing 27 a game. The Panthers are always tough on turf where they have taken eight of their last ten against the number. Troy could be taking a nap here as they feel the only challenge left on the schedule comes in two weeks vs. UL Monroe. Troy is 2-11 ATS under head coach Larry Blakeney road games following back-to-back ATS wins. I like the Golden Panthers to sneak under the number at home in this one.
