Duke is coming into this game with a 7-5 record this season but they did not finish the season strong after having such a good start. They have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 games and they are not going to have a lot of motivation to win this game. Their starting quarterback Riley Leonard has entered the transfer portal along with some other players on the team and even their head coach has jumped ship to be the new head coach for Texas A&M. They are going up against a Troy team that is 11-2 this season and won the Sun Belt Championship as they have been dominant in their conference over the last 2 seasons. Troy has a lot more of their starters sticking around for this game and they will be hungry to finish the season strong with a 12th win here and add to their conference championship. Troy also has the advantage here due to the location of this game so there will be a lot more fans for Troy in the building. Troy is going to cover the spread in this game.
