Troy (2-2) at Florida Atlantic (1-4)
Tuesday, 8:00 pm Eastern – ESPN 2

SBG Global Opening Line: Troy -  3.5   ,  Total  50

 

The season is already on the line for Florida Atlantic as they host Troy on Tuesday night.  The Owls are 1-4 but still in the Sun Belt Conference race if they can get a win against the Trojans. “This of course is a very important game for us, as they all were last year in our run towards the championship of the Sun Belt conference.” Florida Atlantic head coach Howard Schnellenberger said, “We’re in a playoff situation against Troy. In all likelihood, the Sun Belt champion will have them all. If there’s nobody there to win them all then you have to win all but one, and that’s the situation that we had last year.” SBG Global reports that early College Football betting has the public taking Troy on the Road.


Florida Atlantic got their first ever win against Troy last season, winning 38-32.  Overall they are 1-4 in the series against the Trojans.  Considering the two teams combined to score 70 points last year, it could be a high scoring game again on Tuesday. “It will be a high-scoring game as it was a year ago. It’ll take 25 points or so to win the ballgame and we’ve got to be able to produce that many points.” Schnellenberger said.
