Birmingham Bowl Betting Preview
Trojans Rolling on Offense
The Troy Trojans don’t ever get to see a team like the Duke Blue Devils on their NCAAF schedule, and this is a great opportunity for them. Troy is averaging 31.2 points per game this season, and they always tend to be in attack mode with the football.
The Trojans have thrown for 267.9 yards per game this season, while also rushing for nearly 160 yards per game. Quarterback Gunnar Watson threw for 3,339 yards and 27 touchdowns and he has also done a great job of protecting the football this season.
Troy is going to have to play some great defense in this game if they want to win it, and that’s not always something they do well. The Trojans are going to be facing a size disadvantage and that will make things difficult.
Duke Must Dominate with Defense
The NCAAF schedule for Duke is challenging every single year as they compete in the very tough ACC. Duke doesn’t usually have an offense that can keep pace, and it will be up to the defense to take control of this game.
The Blue Devils just held the Pittsburgh Panthers to 19 points in their most recent game, and that was a team that had been putting up a ton of points. Another thing that can help Duke get stops in this matchup is to extend some drives and take time off the clock.
Duke did score 28.8 points per game this season, but they are playing without starting quarterback Riley Leonard. That is going to make things extremely difficult in this game, but they still have some other talented players on that side of the ball.
The Blue Devils will be bigger up front in this game, and that could allow them to push the Troy Trojans around a bit.
