However, the Trojans can claim bowl eligibility by defeating the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NCAA football betting<\/strong><strong>: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers @ Troy Trojans<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Online Betting Odds: Troy -13<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why To Bet On Western Kentucky<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, the Hilltoppers are only 2-9 as they wind toward the end of their season, but when one realizes that Western Kentucky went 0-12 in the 2009 season, this year has been a clear and undeniable improvement for the program. Last year\u2019s club under former coach David Elson could never close down an opponent in the fourth quarter. This year\u2019s team has managed to do the deed twice, against Louisiana-Lafayette and also against Arkansas State, both on the road. Yes, Western Kentucky \u2013 at 2-5 in the Sun Belt \u2013 is a very respectable 2-1 in conference road games. It\u2019s those home games that have been a problem for first-year coach Willie Taggart. WKU is 0-4 on its home field.<\/p>\n<p>Well, this game is at Troy\u2019s Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium, so the Hilltoppers should feel right at home. This team might not win the game outright, but with Troy giving 13 points and having allowed a total of 121 points in its last two games, one would like to think that Western Kentucky\u2019s offense, led by agile dual-threat quarterback Kawaun Jakes and workhorse tailback Bobby Rainey (1,492 rushing yards and a 4.8 yards-per-carry average with 13 touchdowns) can do a lot of damage against the Trojans\u2019 defense, which is clearly deficient and is not playing up to the program\u2019s normally high standards. With a 13-point spread, Western Kentucky could definitely pile up enough points to keep the game close.  <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627&#038;tclk=http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why To Bet On Troy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First of all, one would like to think that the Trojans, after being embarrassed in consecutive games by Florida International (a 52-35 loss) and South Carolina (a 69-24 loss that could have been much worse if the Gamecocks had kept their starters in for 60 minutes), will play with a lot of pride in what is their home-field finale for the 2010 season. Troy is a proud program, having won the last two Sun Belt Conference championships and three of the last four. Troy was in position to repeat as Sun Belt champion, but the stunning loss to Florida International ruined their plans; Troy was a shoo-in for the league crown if it could have managed to foil FIU, but the Golden Panthers ambushed them.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this team must regroup, but it still has something to play for: bowl eligibility. That should motivate the Trojans to play well on their home field. Moreover, the team they\u2019re playing \u2013\u00a0Western Kentucky \u2013\u00a0has blown three fourth-quarter leads this season in Sun Belt games. The Hilltoppers were outscored 45-6 in the fourth quarter in those three losses (to Louisiana-Monroe, Florida Atlantic, and Middle Tennessee). If there\u2019s a team Troy can get healthy against, it is Western Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How The Game Will Play Out<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Troy will indeed get healthy against Western Kentucky, and the Trojans shouldn\u2019t even need to come from behind in the fourth quarter. Troy will play with pride and purpose and salvage some measure of its season with a \u201ctake-out-your-frustrations\u201d kind of win over a clearly inferior opponent. Take Troy in what should be an angry blowout win for the home team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under is 7-1 in WKEN last 8 games in November.<br \/>\nWKEN are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 conference games.<br \/>\nUnder is 8-3 in WKEN last 11 conference games.<br \/>\nOver is 13-5 in TROY last 18 games overall.<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 4 of Western Kentucky&#8217;s last 6 games on the road<br \/>\nWestern Kentucky is 2-15 SU in its last 17 games on the road<br \/>\nWestern Kentucky is 2-23 SU in its last 25 games<br \/>\nTroy is 13-1 SU in its last 14 games at home<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 13 of Troy&#8217;s last 18 games<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 5 of Troy&#8217;s last 7 games at home<br \/>\nTroy is 14-7 SU in its last 21 games <\/p>\n<p><strong>Western Kentucky Troy <\/strong><strong>Betting<\/strong><strong> Pick: Troy -13<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Go back to school and be a player &#8211; at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/betting-offers\/football-betting.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bodog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/betting-offers\/football-betting.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">START COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMBLING TODAY AT BODOG SPORTSBOOK &amp; CASINO\u2026.CLICK HERE TO JOIN!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Poolside Rants hails from beautiful Bozeman Montana by way of Toronto, Canada.
