Prior to the start of every college football season, we look at the current landscape and make predictions on the teams we believe will excel, as well as those we think will tank. It’s an inexact science, which means we always have a bunch of teams who do a whole lot better than expected, while some who we thought would be great end up being mediocre at best. Last season, the Troy fell into the pleasant surprise category, but the problem they have now is that they are not going to be sneaking up on anyone this time around. The question here is whether they can build upon the success of last season to deliver another great year. Let’s take a closer look to see if we can answer that question, so here’s the preview for your college football betting lines to win the NCAA National Championship.

The Trojans in 2022

After a run of 3-straight 5-win seasons, coach Chip Lindsey was shown the door, with the reins handed to Jon Sumrall. The expectation was that he would need some time to turn things around, but he made an immediate impact, leading the Trojans to a 12-2 season and the Sun belt Championship. That success landed him a lucrative new deal, but can he repeat that great performance this season, especially now that the pressure is on him to deliver? We will get into that in a moment, but what we can say is that most of the core group that exceled in 2022 is returning for this season, so let’s dive in and make some predictions.

Betting Odds for the Trojans in 2023

While the record for the Trojans last season was 12-2, 10 of those wins were in the regular season, with the other 2 coming in the Conference Championship Game and their Bowl Game. This season, the bookies have the Troy win total set at 8 ½ for the regular season, which suggests a potential backward step. Their biggest test comes in Week 2 against Kansas State, but the rest of their games look winnable, making the OVER seem like a decent bet.

Their conference schedule looks to be favorable, as they will miss out on some of the better teams in the East Division. The fact that the Trojans have so many players returning from their Sun Belt winning season suggests that this team should be able to slide back into a groove and start winning again right off the bat. South Alabama is in as the favorites to win the conference, but Troy is right on their heels at odds of +310. Those odds will shorten rather quickly if they get on a winning roll early, so now is the time to wager if you think the Trojans can repeat.

If the 12-team playoff system had been in place last year, Troy would very likely have been in the mix, but like last season, we have one more year of a 4-team playoff before moving to 12 teams next season. That means that they have almost zero shot at getting in, so forget the playoffs and the National Championship and instead focus your attention on the win total and Conference Championship wagers for the Troy Trojans.
