    Troy?

    What the hell, been planning on betting large on W Kentucky all week and now all of the sudden we get all this late line movement. What's up?

    People are placing wagers on Troy primarily based off of their last home game (Sept 15) where Troy nearly upset a ranked Mississippi St team (final score 30-24).

    I just don't see Troy being able to stop W Kentuckys running game at all. Troy will throw the ball around a little bit but on paper the play is W Kentucky.

    I agree 100%. In their two losses (Miss St & ULL), Troy gave up 6.3ypc and 5.5ypc respectively. I think Andrews and WKU will gash them in the run game.

    That and troy is 12th overall in passing yards vs an okay wky passing game. given wky has a very stout running game and should control the game but it comes down to a coin flip on this one. Still like wky myself

    Glad I waited and got the pickem, didn't go as large as I was planning though. I'd like to think I have learned from weird stuff like this in the past.

    Only concern that comes into play for WKU is that they haven't seen an "air-raid" offense like this yet this season. The key to the game will be how much they can limit Troy, keep those receivers in front of them, and not give up big plays. If WKU gets the running game going (which I'm assuming they will), it may keep Troy's offense off the field, breaking their rhythm in the process.

    I have WKU in a 13 point teaser so I don't feel too bad... Still wish I got a better number

    Game looks just like the W Kentucky and Arkansas State game. W Kentucky wore them down in the 2nd half.

    Was hoping to wait this out and get a good line.

    WKU -2

    They have to say he can run the offense as coaches. Going to be a tight 2H, I expect wku to wake up. We will see, good luck

    True, interested in the wild cat QB and if he can do anything.... I have a feeling their turnover habits will come to light 2H

    Hoping for a repeat of that. Took the 2H ML on WKU

    Now we get to see if the back up can do anything.... I think they're starting to grind Troy's defense down.

    Not a promising offensive start to the 2H for Troy

    Line movement had me second guessing my WKU money line play, never did figure out why it moved so drastically and quickly.

    If the Troy QB doesn't go down we may have been sucking eggs in this one.
