Teams’ Strengths and Weaknesses
Troy Trojans
The main strength of Troy at the moment is that they’re finding a way to win football games. This isn’t something easy to do, and no matter what, pretty or ugly, Troy has been on the right side of things so far.
Their two losses this season are against Ole Miss and Appalachian State, who are two of the better teams in the country.
They have taken care of business against Marshall, Western Kentucky, Southern Miss, Texas State, and Alabama A&M.
South Alabama
When thinking about our Troy vs South Alabama best bets, when looking at what South Alabama has been able to do this season, it’s easy to see why they could be our pick.
Offensive Side
They know how to play on the offensive side of the football at a higher level than most teams in the country and even almost beat the number 9 ranked UCLA Bruins this season.
If they can come out and continue doing what they’ve done offensively, this is a game that they can certainly come away with and at least cover that three-point spread.
Troy and South Alabama Season Forecast
Troy
The season forecast for the Troy Trojans is trying to win the Sun Belt. At 3-1 in the conference and 5-2 overall, there’s no reason why this team can’t find a way to get the job done when it matters most, and beating South Alabama is the perfect start for them to do that.
South Alabama
The season forecast for the South Alabama Jaguars currently sees them in first place in the college football standings.
If they can continue doing this for the remainder of the year, this team has a legitimate chance of winning the conference and playing in an above-average bowl game.
The committee always respects the Sun Belt, so whoever comes out on top of it will typically play in a bowl game, and that should be something that they are interested in doing this season and are looking forward to with this challenge against Troy.

South Alabama Winnings and Losses
With losses to UCLA and wins over:
- Nicholls State
- Central Michigan
- Louisiana Tech
- Louisiana Lafayette
- Louisiana Monroe
This team can truly figure it out sooner rather than later in terms of continuing their winning and doing what they’ve been expected to do throughout the past few seasons.
With what their offense has been able to do this year, it’s always a good decision to put money on teams that can do what they do. The reason for saying that is because they are truly never out of the game.
If Troy Trojans comes out and can get stops on the defensive side of the football early and does punch them in the mouth by taking an early lead, South Alabama could bounce right back and win this football game.
