Pick
I’m taking a stab at South Alabama here. The Jaguars have done a pretty good job at covering numbers as of late, and now they get a bit of a favorable matchup against a Troy team that South Alabama has had a ton of success against in the past. I think this one has potential to be a 2-3 point game at most, so give me South Alabama and the points here.
