Troy at South Alabama picks and predictions

Prediction

South Alabama 27, Troy 17

Moneyline

PASS. South Alabama is worth a look at -155.

Against the spread

Troy has won 4 straight ATS in this series but expect some pushback in this one. The Trojans won ATS (+3.5) and straight-up last season, leveraging a pair of scoring drives that were fewer than 55 yards in a 31-24 win.

The Jaguars outgained Troy 335 yards to 308 in that contest. USA is the better red-zone squad at both ends of the field coming into this 2022 meeting.

BET SOUTH ALABAMA -3.5 (+105).

Over/Under

Some wind in the forecast could slow these teams down in the passing game. Both are quite good at defending the run, and field goals could loom large in the final result.

BACK THE UNDER 46.5 (-108).

Coastal Carolina at South Alabama odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Coastal Carolina Chanticleers at South Alabama Jaguars odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (9-2, 5-2 Sun Belt) visit the South Alabama Jaguars (5-6, 2-5) Friday at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile, Ala. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Coastal Carolina vs. South Alabama odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Chanticleers were upset by visiting Georgia State 42-40 Nov. 13, but bounced back with a 35-21 victory over Texas State last Saturday. Coastal Carolina is still just 1-4 ATS across the past five outings with the Under going 3-2.

The Jaguars are hoping the fourth time is a charm as Friday is the final time they can secure bowl eligibility. They’re 0-3 SU/ATS across the past three games, all on the road.

Coastal Carolina at South Alabama odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Coastal Carolina 30, South Alabama 20

Money line

Coastal Carolina (-700) will cost you seven times your potential return. That’s just too risky on the road against a team fighting for bowl eligibility.

PASS and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

SOUTH ALABAMA +15.5 (-112) is a great play at home against Coastal Carolina. The Jaguars are fighting for bowl eligibility, and they’re down to their last chance. They’ve gone 0-for-3 in the past three tries at clinching that magical sixth win. They won’t get the W here either, but expect them to give a great effort and keep it within two scores.

Over/Under

The UNDER 56.5 (-112) is the best play on the board. The Under is 4-0 in the past four on the road for CCU, while going 4-1 in the past five against teams with a losing record.

For USA, the Under has connected in five straight against teams with a winning record, while going 7-2 in the past nine home games. The Jaguars also have hit the Under in seven of the past 10 as underdogs, too.

Georgia Southern at South Alabama odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Georgia Southern Eagles at South Alabama Jaguars odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Georgia Southern Eagles (2-4, 1-2 Sun Belt Conference) and South Alabama Jaguars (3-2, 0-2) clash in a Sun Belt battle at Hancock Whitney Stadium Thursday in Mobile, Ala. Below, we look at the Georgia Southern vs. South Alabama odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Georgia Southern is coming off a 27-24 loss at Troy and has lost four of its last five games. Fourth-year head coach Chad Lunsford was fired partway through that stretch after the Eagles started 1-3. Interim coach Kevin Whitley is 1-1 in two games since.

Rush-first GSU (253.2 rushing yards per game) sports an overall middle-of-the-road-to-slightly-subpar offense. The Eagles struggle mightily on the other side of the ball and their 486.0 total yards allowed per game ranks 126th in FBS.

South Alabama went into a late-September bye week undefeated at 3-0. The Jaguars are 0-2 since, being outscored by a combined 4 points against Louisiana and Texas State. The second of those losses — last Saturday — came in a four-overtime game that included wild momentum swings.

USA has been solid against the run and the pass and overall ranks 24th in the nation, while yielding just 311.2 total yards per game.

Georgia Southern at South Alabama odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

South Alabama 27, Georgia Southern 21

Money line

South Alabama’s 20-18 loss to Louisiana feels like a Jaguars-should-have-won game, and it’s an impressive one. Figure USA as being able to move the ball in diverse ways against Georgia Southern but PASS on the money line unless you can get the Jaguars at -150 or better.

Against the spread

The Jaguars have converted just 32.9% of their third-down conversion attempts. That ranks 110th in the nation. Look for USA to find more success against this Georgia Southern defense.

The Eagles got two late touchdowns to take last year’s meeting 24-17. GSU had a pair of short TD drives. Look for a revenge angle in this home game for the Jaguars.

The favorite is 5-2 ATS across the last seven series meetings. The home side has won four in a row ATS.

BACK THE JAGUARS -2.5 (-130).

Over/Under

The Under hit in two straight series meetings. Look for a similar score to these two games with 20-to-28 points being the winning score.

BACK THE UNDER 49.5 (-108).
