Before you make any Troy vs. South Alabama picks or college football predictions, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.

The model knows that South Alabama has been winning the turnover battle all season. The Jaguars have forced 14 turnovers while committing just six this season. Their +8 turnover margin ranks fifth in the country. That bodes well while facing a Troy team that is -1 in turnover margin.

The model also knows that Troy has been strong at stopping the run recently. The Trojans have held five of their last six opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing. Over the last six games, Troy has limited opponents to 85.5 rushing yards per game and 2.57 yards per carry, which would rank sixth and second in the country, respectively.

Now, the model has set its sights on South Alabama vs. Troy. We can tell you it is leaning Under the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in well over 50% of simulations. You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college football picks.
