Saturday's Birmingham Bowl game between Troy and Duke features a line of Trojans -7. This one has teased as high as the number 9.
The Birmingham Bowl features a payout of $1,374,545 and features these conference tie-ins: The American, SEC Alternates: C-USA, MAC.
Troy comes into this game with an impressive 11-2 record Straight Up and 8-5 Against The Spread. They've been victorious in their last ten games. Duke went 7-5 SU with a 6-6 record Against The Spread.
We actually have Duke favored at a half a point, indicating not just that the wrong team is favored but that there exists an overlay of more than 8 points. It's unusual to have the wrong team favored in the 7-point range and our own model barely includes any sampling. Overlays in the 7/7.5/8 range do not feature any type of edge.

60% of the action is on Troy yet the books are encouraging betting on the Trojans as this number was mostly sitting at -7 overnight, down from -8.
