double-dime bet102 Fla. Atlantic / 101 Troy Under 51.5 Bodog
Analysis: UNDER in Florida Atlantic ? The last time these teams met it was December 1st of last year and the Owls knocked off the Trojans at Troy. That win stole the Sun Belt Title from Troy and that occurred in the Trojans last home game of the season. Needless to say both teams remember that game and the intensity will certainly be up for both teams. The Trojans have revenge on their minds and the Owls are looking to come up with a strong performance at home with the ESPN2 cameras rolling. As a direct result of the intensity being up for this game we should see some solid defense here. Note that Florida Atlantic returned 18 starters for this season and eight of those were on defense. As for Troy, they returned 14 starters this season and seven of those were on defense. Don?t be fooled by some of the big points these teams have given up this season as they?ve faced some very tough competition in games where they were overmatched. Florida Atlantic faced Minnesota and Michigan State from the Big Ten plus Texas from the Big Twelve. They did hold Michigan State to just 17 points. Also, they defeated UAB by 15 in their game against the Blazers and they held Middle Tennessee State to just 14 points. That game was last Tuesday and the Owls were actually up 13-7 when the Blue Raiders scored a TD on the final play of the game. As you would imagine, the Florida Atlantic defense is fired up after seeing last week?s game slip away in the final seconds! Troy allowed 55 points to Oklahoma State in their most recent game but they of course are not in the same class as the Cowboys! Prior to that loss the Trojans allowed an average of just 15 points per game in their first three games of the season even though one of those games came at Ohio State. Give the Trojan defense some respect and note that they will be fired up after having the Sunbelt title taken away from them in last season?s season finale loss to the Owls. Last season?s game between these teams totaled 70 points and that is giving us some line value with the under tonight. Note that the Owls and Trojans met each of the three seasons prior to last season. Those three games averaged a total of just 38 points per game. That?s what you would expect from this SBC rivalry and it looks like another under tonight in Boca Raton, Florida. UNDER!
