Troy vs. JACKSONVILLE STATE (49')

By Matt Rivers, Featured Handicapper

I have hit a little bump in the road. Doing this every day, it happens. The important thing is to not let it linger.

$10 bettors have still netted $12,717 in all sports the past 45 months.

That's wins minus losses with the vig factored into the equation.

Basketball has been even better as $10 bettors have netted $17,710 my last 162 releases the past 3 seasons.

I plan on winning tonight - that is the plan every night by the way! - and I will do so with a college hoops blowout winner.

I'm 99-74-4 overall the past 56 weeks - no matter the sport or rating.

In tonight's bowl game from Montgomery, Alabama, look for a pair of Alabama teams - Troy and Jacksonville State - to hold Under the total.


The Trojans will play this bowl game without their leading rusher, Tae Meadows, who is entering the transfer portal and is expected to leave with nearly 700 yards rushing and 6 touchdowns. Troy had been struggling with its firepower while Meadows was on the field, as they finished their regular season with 14 points or fewer in 3 of their final 5 games, as the Trojans enter this bowl game having held Under the total in each of their last 5 games.


The Gamecocks have also been trending low to end their regular season, as Jacksonville State played its conference title game against Kennesaw State in the Under column in a 19-15 loss. The Gamecocks have landed Under the total in 2 of their last 3 games.


The total for tonight's game is sitting at 7 full touchdowns. With the Trojans' offense going in fits and starts, I don't think we are headed Over in tonight's Veterans Bowl.


Go Low in Montgomery tonight.
