If you watch the betting odds, one thing is for certain: The Troy Trojans are no Texas A&M Aggies. While Mississippi State opened up as a touchdown underdog to Texas A&M last weekend, the Bulldogs opened up as whopping 31.5-point favorites over Troy. That line quickly dropped to 30.5.
Perhaps one of the most interesting things about this game from a betting standpoint is that the games between Mississippi State and Troy have either been very close or complete blowouts.
In 2001, fans being forced to evacuate the stadium due to tornado warnings probably wished they had not returned as Troy came to Starkville and knocked off Mississippi State 21-7.
