This Saturday’s matchup between the Troy State Trojans and the Utah State Aggies offers some interesting betting angles. Troy State comes in with a 2-1 record, showing they’ve had some early success. Utah State, on the other hand, is 0-3, struggling to find their footing so far this season.
The betting lines reflect this. Utah State is favored at home by 3 points, with odds of -108 on the spread. This means bettors must risk $108 to win $100 on Utah State covering the 3-point margin. Troy State is the underdog with +3 points on the spread and odds of -112, so you’d risk $112 to win $100 if you back Troy to keep it within 3 points or win outright.
Looking at the moneyline, Utah State is the favorite at -148, indicating you’d have to bet $148 to win $100 on them outright. Troy State’s moneyline is +124, so a $100 bet nets $124 if they pull off the upset. The odds suggest the market sees Utah State as the likely winner but expects a close game.
The total points line is set at 47.5, with the under slightly favored at -118. That means the market thinks this could be a moderately low-scoring game, and bettors are leaning toward fewer than 48 points combined.
Overall, if you trust Troy State’s early success to continue, the +3 spread and +124 moneyline offer some value. If you believe Utah State will use home advantage to get their first win, the -3 spread and -148 moneyline make sense. The total points line suggests a tight game with modest scoring.
