Who needs to watch Barack Obama and John McCain when we can view Florida Atlantic and Troy? The economy is doing great for the world’s best sports handicappers. Let others spin who won the Obama-McCain debate. We will tell you who covers between the Trojans and Owls.
Sportsbooks currently have Troy a 3.5-4 point favorite with a total of 51. Troy State is 2-2 straight up, 2-1 against the spread and has gone under two of their three lined games. Florida Atlantic is 1-4 straight up, but 3-2 to the Vegas odds, going under 4-of-5.
Florida Atlantic is off a three-game road trip which ended in their last second loss to Middle Tennessee State. Referring to FAU coach Howard Schnellenberger’s decision to pooch kick then go into a prevent defense, Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy of GodsTips said, “That loss is 100 percent on Schnellenberger. Coaches are supposed to put their team in position to win. He put them in position to fail and they obliged.”
This is a game that pits the Sun Belt co-champions of last year. Perhaps no player in the country has baffled in a negative sense as much as Owls QB Rusty Smith. Last year he was named Sun Belt Player of the year with 32 TDs and seven interceptions. Over his last two games, he’s thrown six picks and nary a touchdown.
Troy is 5-1 straight up on ESPN2. Their offense under first-year signal caller Jamie Hampton is averaging 441.8 yards per game. According to the more accurate ratings, Troy is better on the defensive side of the ball. They allow just 4.6 yards per play to teams normally getting 5.1.
