OUR EARLY PICK: Troy has been a good road play in recent history, covering in five of its lat six road games overall and going 4-1 ATS in its last five road games versus a team with a winning home record. The Trojans are also 7-3 against the number versus a team with a winning record and are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games following an ATS loss. Clemson isn’t Austin Peay, but any team that racks up 706 yards of total offense in one game shouldn’t be taken lightly. The Trojans should stay within the 36 points.
