Troy Trojans at Georgia Southern Eagles Pick: Georgia Southern Eagles Moneyline

In this Sun Belt Conference showdown, the Georgia Southern Eagles are poised to capitalize on their home advantage and superior form against the Troy Trojans. The Eagles, with a commendable 6-3 record, have demonstrated resilience and skill, particularly in their recent 34-30 victory over the South Alabama Jaguars. Quarterback JC French was instrumental in this win, showcasing remarkable accuracy with an 81.5% completion rate, amassing 198 passing yards and two touchdowns. His dual-threat capability was further highlighted by his contributions on the ground, adding another dimension to the Eagles' offensive arsenal. Complementing French's efforts, running back Jalen White delivered a solid performance with 71 rushing yards and a touchdown, while wide receiver Josh Dallas emerged as a key target, securing five receptions for 96 yards and two touchdowns.

Conversely, the Troy Trojans, holding a 2-7 record, have struggled throughout the season despite their recent 38-24 triumph over the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. While quarterback Matthew Caldwell and running back Damien Taylor put up impressive numbers in that game, with Taylor rushing for 190 yards and a touchdown, the Trojans' overall inconsistency remains a concern. Gerald Green's standout performance, with 83 receiving yards and a touchdown on a single catch, alongside 123 rushing yards and a touchdown, underscores the potential within the team, yet their ability to maintain such performances against a formidable opponent like Georgia Southern is questionable.

Given the Eagles' consistent form and the advantage of playing at Allen E. Paulson Stadium, they are rightly favored with a moneyline of -300. The betting lines reflect confidence in their ability to secure a victory, and with both teams coming off wins, the Eagles' superior record and home advantage make them the logical choice. Expect Georgia Southern to leverage their strengths and maintain their winning momentum against the Trojans.

Troy Trojans at Georgia Southern Eagles Top Player Prop Picks

JC French Over 198.5 Passing Yards - Passing Yards Prop -110 (DraftKings)

JC French has been a pivotal force for the Georgia Southern Eagles, particularly in their recent victory over the South Alabama Jaguars. His impressive completion rate of 81.5% and 198 passing yards, coupled with two touchdowns, underscore his ability to effectively lead the Eagles' aerial attack. Given his recent form and the Eagles' reliance on his passing prowess, betting on French to exceed 198.5 passing yards against a Troy defense that has shown vulnerabilities is a strong proposition. The Eagles' offensive strategy is likely to continue leveraging French's accuracy and decision-making, making this prop a compelling choice.

Damien Taylor Over 120.5 Rushing Yards - Rushing Yards Prop -115 (FanDuel)

Damien Taylor's recent performance against Coastal Carolina was nothing short of spectacular, as he amassed 190 rushing yards on 28 carries, averaging an impressive 6.8 yards per attempt. His ability to dominate the ground game is a critical component of the Trojans' offensive strategy. Despite the Eagles being favored, Taylor's consistent ability to break through defenses makes the over on 120.5 rushing yards an attractive option. His role as the primary rusher for Troy ensures he will have ample opportunities to rack up significant yardage, especially if the Trojans aim to control the tempo of the game.

Josh Dallas Over 1.5 Receiving Touchdowns - Receiving Touchdowns Prop +150 (BetMGM)

Josh Dallas has emerged as a key target in the Georgia Southern passing game, as evidenced by his standout performance against South Alabama, where he secured two touchdowns on five receptions for 96 yards. His knack for finding the end zone and his chemistry with quarterback JC French make him a prime candidate to score multiple touchdowns in this matchup. With the Eagles expected to exploit their passing game against the Trojans, Dallas's ability to capitalize on red-zone opportunities makes the over on 1.5 receiving touchdowns a prop with significant upside.
