2 unit play troy - 12 write up is on my threadComment -
I like the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders plus the points over Troy State.
To share in the Conference Championship, Middle Tennessee needs to defeat Troy State on Tuesday, and then watch for the Trojans to lose their final game to Florida Atlantic. Sun Belt Conference underdogs of +7 or more points are a solid 27-8 ATS off a conference loss, including 17-3 vs. a foe off a win.
I am going to take Middle Tennessee State.Comment -
Anyone have the status of Omar H for Troy? I think he is the key to this game. I have been burnt by 3 starting QBs getting injured (Dixon, Garrard, and Bradford) and not really wanting to do the same here tonight. I had Vince Young last night for completions so I almost got burnt for a 4th time. Troy really does not have to win this game so I am concerned if Omar seems hurt, they will pull him and play for next week, which is the game they have to win either way. If Omar is healthy and plays entire game, Troy wins this one easy.Comment -
Troy -5.5 and under 65.5
.5 unit as an action playComment -
Troy has 3 losses and all were to ranked SEC teams. Arkansas and Florida in back to back weeks to open the season and a 10 point loss to Georgia, all on the road. With the exception of the Western Kentucky game two weeks ago they haven't won by less than 17, including a 22 point win over Oklahoma St. The Western Kentucky game was understandable, coming off two straight road games and the last one being a tough hard fought game in Georgia.
Tonight they are coming off 10 days rest and playing at home. Add in the fact that if they win they guarantee a tie for the division and a Florida Atlantic loss (not likely) will clinch the Sun Belt for them.
The Troy offense put up 81 points against those 3 SEC teams and Troy is 19-3 at home since 2003.
Omar Haugabook is Probable and expected to play.
Troy should cover this game and then some.Comment -
Some useful trends:
Troy is on ATS streaks of 10-1 in games played on grass, 6-1 in conference games and 6-1 against losing teams.
Middle Tennessee is on ATS runs of 8-3 against winning teams, 8-3-1 in Sun Belt contests and 4-0 following a bye.
The under is 4-2 in Middle Tennessee's last six, 4-1 in Troy's last five lined games and 2-0 in the last two meetings.Comment -
This game comes down to the health\play of Omar Haugabook. I think Troy wins big if he comes out to play the entire game. I am just concerned they may conserve him for next week as this game really does not matter win or lose. If this was a more desperate situation for them, I would go very large on Troy tonight. 4 QB injuries have or almost taken me out in the past 1-2 weeks. Hopefully, its not a 5th tonight.Comment -

You've just about single-handedly destroyed this football forum, I'll give you that. If that was your intention, congrats to you. Not only do you go in and bash everyone's plays, but you're the worst handicapper we've ever seen. Most people that are as bad as you would shut up and move on, but you come back and make yourself look even dumber. It's not long until the other serious handicappers follow pags and leave...Comment
