Through 3 Quarters
Down four at the end of last quarter, the Georgia Southern Eagles have now snagged the lead. Sitting on a score of 20-13, they have looked like the better squad out there today, but there's still one more quarter to play.
Both Georgia Southern and the Troy Trojans padded the win column in their previous outings. We'll see if the Eagles can maintain their lead to polish off another victory and cancel out Troy's positive energy.

What to Know
The Georgia Southern Eagles have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Troy Trojans and are hoping to record their first win since Dec. 3 of 2016. The Eagles and Troy will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 1 p.m. ET Saturday at Allen E. Paulson Stadium. Georgia Southern is out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.
Georgia Southern beat the South Alabama Jaguars 24-17 last Thursday. Among those leading the charge for Georgia Southern was RB Wesley Kennedy III, who punched in two rushing touchdowns.
Meanwhile, everything went Troy's way against the Arkansas State Red Wolves last week as they made off with a 38-10 victory.
The Eagles are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread last Thursday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
