Troy is coming into this game as a 6.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Georgia State got their 6th win last week becoming bowl eligible but Troy is 1 win away from that as well and they have 1 game left to get that win. This is a rivalry game so they are going to play this game with a lot of heart but with the bowl game being on the line as well, they should come extra hard in this game and try to win it. They have not been playing well recently but this is their chance to stop the bleeding and finish their regular season off on a good note, and continue it into a possible bowl game. The best bet to place in this game is on Troy to cover the spread here as they will at least keep this a close game and within a field goal if they do not win on the moneyline.

"Ultimately, we fell short of our goal of producing a championship-winning team. I am grateful to the administration at Troy for giving me this opportunity to serve as head coach. Thank you to our players for giving their all, day in and day out. I am proud to have been your coach, and I am grateful for the relationships we forged that will last a lifetime. Finally, I would like to thank my family for their unwavering love and support." - Chip Lindsey on getting fired as head coach.

 

 

“If we go out and play well, we have a chance to finish at 7-5, and we have a chance to set a record for most conference wins. Those are two big, big milestones. And from where we came from (a 1-4 start), I don’t think any of you guys sitting across there ever thought we’d have the opportunity get finished the way we have and carry that momentum into a bowl game and have, what I would say, would be the best season in Georgia State history.” - Shawn Elliott on his team’s goals to finish the season off.
