Troy is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games and 17-42-2 ATS in their last 61 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win. Georgia State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a win and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 8-0 in their last 8 games overall.
I get that Georgia State’s managed to pick up a couple of wins in their recent travels, but lets not forget that this team hadn’t beaten a D-I team since November at one point. Troy isn’t a world-beater by any means and I don’t know that they get a win here, but I think the Trojans have a chance at keeping this one close and potentially winning outright. Give me the Trojans and the points.
