Troy had a good start to the 2021 NCAA season, though it all fell apart come November: they had a streak of just one win in four games, what saw them having to settle for fourth place in the Sun Belt Conference with a 5-7 overall record.
The offense was Troy’s main problem last season, averaging just 22.8 points per game along with a 326.1 yard average, something new head coach Jon Sumrall will have to work on along with the help of quarterback Gunnar Watson, who will be playing his fifth season with the team after an 8 touchdown, 4 interception campaign in 2021.
Betting on the Ole Miss Rebels
- Regular Season Record: 0-0.
- Spread: -21.5.
- Moneyline: -1667.
- Over/Under: 57.5.
The 2021 NCAA was much more benevolent to Ole Miss, who did a good enough job to place them second in the Southeastern Conference West Division with an excellent 10-3 record, good for a ticket to the Sugar Bowl, which it eventually lost to Baylor.
Something that could spell trouble for Ole Miss is the lack of a quarterback for this season after Matt Corral was selected in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. So Luke Altmyer and Jaxson Dart are the leading candidates to take the job.
JefeBet Prediction
The last time these teams met, Ole Miss came away with a 51-21 victory, but… Will that be the case again this Week 1? We don’t think so, as the Rebels have several absences compared to last year when they reached the Sugar Bowl, and the lack of a defined quarterback could hurt them.
We’re not saying Troy can win, as the Trojans are an inferior team in several respects (primarily on offense, as seen in 2021). But their defense, which allowed an average of just 26.1 points per game last season, might be enough to keep them from losing by a landslide.
Prediction: Troy Trojans Spread (+21.5)
