James Madison vs Troy Sun Belt Preview
The Tory Trojans and James Madison Dukes will clash on Friday. The winner will be crowned champions of the Sun Belt.
James Madison has bigger hopes as they may have an opportunity to earn a playoff berth, depending on the result of a few other games this weekend, most notably Tulane vs. North Texas and Virginia vs. Duke.
Junior Alonza Barnett III has led the Dukes with 2,440 passing yards and 33 total touchdowns.
Signal caller Goose Crowder has led Troy with 1,118 passing yards and 11 touchdowns.
Spread Pick: Troy +23.5
While James Madison has been outstanding this season, Troy can compete in this game.
The Trojans will lean on their run game to control the clock and keep this dynamic James Madison offense off the field.
I expect James Madison to win, but I’ll take advantage of an inflated number in this matchup.
Troy Player Prop Pick: Goose Crowder 170+ Pass Yards
The game script will bode well for this prop.
I expect Troy to trail for most of this game, which will force them to throw the football, so Crowder should earn enough opportunities in the passing game.
The junior has cashed this prop in three of his past five games.
