Troy vs. Appalachian State Betting Odds, Picks: Can Trojans Keep It ... (The Action Network)

Find college football odds, betting picks and predictions for Troy vs. Appalachian State on Saturday, September 17.

I’ll back the Trojans in this spot. The Mountaineers have gone 16-for-33 on third down this season to rank 35th nationally. After UNC torched it for 567 yards and 63 points, App State held Texas A&M to 186 yards and 14 points. App State is a threat any given week because it has one of the most balanced offenses in the country. Appalachian State is a few plays away from being 2-0 with two wins over Power Five opponents. The teams are also about even in Finishing Drives. UAB transfer Rajae’ Johnson-Sanders plays the red-zone role with his 6-foot-4 frame and has two touchdowns through the first games. Even when removing Watson’s yardage lost on sacks (-45 yards), the results don’t get much better. Troy is averaging 59 rushing yards per game on two yards per carry. It will also host ESPN’s College GameDay for the first time in school history. This week’s game will be the Sun Belt opener for both teams.

Texas A&M trolled by Appalachian State football fans on Gameday (ClutchPoints)

Appalachian State Mountaineers football fans savagely trolled Texas A&M on College Gameday after their shocking upset win last week.

And not just any ATM, but the “only one that lets you withdraw $1.5 million. This Appalachian State Mountaineers football fan is referring to the Aggies as an ATM. And this one was used to perfection by this Appalachian State football fan, who is referencing the $1.5 million the Mountaineers were paid to play Texas A&M as a non-conference opponent. Here are some of the best savage burns from College Gameday. And that’s unfortunate for Texas A&M Aggies football fans, as the Appalachian State faithful took full advantage of their appearance on College Gameday Saturday morning, savagely trolling the Aggies for last week’s stunning result. It was a stunning loss for Jimbo Fisher’s Aggies, but also a defining moment for Appalachian State football and their fans.

The problem is that they’re going to give up a bunch of points to someone who doesn’t seemingly hand them the ball at will. The Red Raiders had a big home win over Houston last week and host an NC State team that continues its treacherous non-conference slate. There would be nothing more Texas than acquitted themselves well in a big game and then losing to a team that—while a legitimate threat—they should deal with. After a tune-up game against Southern last week, have the Tigers fixed the issues that plagued them in their wild loss against Florida State? Mississippi State comes home after a late-night win in Arizona last week to play their SEC opener on the Bayou. - South Carolina’s Kai Kroeger played quarterback in high school, so it should be no surprise that as a punter, he can work a safety like this on the fake. The Nittany Lions go on the road for the rematch of last year’s tight game in Happy Valley. - You may see this pick and think it’s a bad play for Auburn, which it certainly is, but adding insult to injury is the fact that the play probably shouldn’t have happened at all. The Boilermakers were "no tackling, just vibes," which helped the Orange score on a busted play and add a two-point conversion to go up three late over Purdue. - There was a late fumble for Northwestern if you’re looking for an upset in this slate. - Ok, so Purdue hit that go-ahead TD and the proceeded to commit seven penalties, six of which were accepted. That gave the Bears a last heave into the end zone, and at least two Cal receivers got their hands on the ball before it fell to the turf.

Appalachian State defeats Troy on wild tipped-ball Hail Mary as time ... (USA TODAY)

With College GameDay in town, Appalachian State defeated Troy in a Sun Belt showdown on a tipped-ball Hail Mary as time expired.

App State, now 2-1 on the season, began the year with a wild 63-61 loss to in-state rival North Carolina. It was plucked out of the air by Christan Horn, who wheeled to his right, got a block and sprinted into the end zone for a 53-yard touchdown with no time left on the clock. Trailing 28-24, App State QB Chase Brice rolled out to his left after escaping some pressure, launching downfield in the direction of a group of players around the 5-yard line.
