How to make Troy vs. Jacksonville State picks
After simulating Jax State vs. Troy 10,000 times, SportsLine’s model is going Over on the total (49.5 points). When the total is below 50 points this season, the Over is a combined 5-2 for the teams. Jacksonville State is on a 6-3 run with the Over as it easily racks up points with the nation’s leading rusher in Cam Cook. He’s projected to find the end zone, while JSU quarterback, Caden Creel, is forecasted to account for two total touchdowns of his own.
As for Troy, its style of play is conducive to quick scoring as it ranks in the bottom seven in FBS in both rushing offense and yards per rush. Thus, it leans on the passing game, and it is facing a defense which does not travel. Five of the six highest point totals that Jacksonville State has allowed have come away from its home stadium. SportsLine’s model is projecting 53 combined points as the Over hits in well over 50% of simulations.
The model also says one side of the spread hits more than 60% of the time. You can see the model’s pick at SportsLine.

Coco Gauff reflects on surreal Serena Williams encounter: You could have told me that was Jesus
Coco Gauff has never hidden her admiration for Serena Williams, but the way she describes their first real-life encounter captures just how overwhelming that moment truly was. For a young player still finding her footing on the professional tour, seeing her lifelong idol up close felt almost unreal, an experience that continues to shape how she views greatness, pressure, and her own evolving legacy in tennis.Serena Williams feels unstoppable in a menswear inspired lookRecalling that moment years later, Gauff offered a vivid description that quickly went viral for its honesty and emotion."I just remember her walking by, and it just felt not real. You could have told me that was Jesus," the two-time singles Major champion told Forbes.That sense of disbelief speaks volumes about the towering presence Williams carried within the sport. Long before Gauff became a Grand Slam champion […]
Andy Reid firing theory considered “ridiculous”, but creativity called into question
It's official: The Kansas City Chiefs will not partake in this season's NFL playoffs. It's the first time a postseason won't feature the Chiefs since 2014, marking the end of an insane run under head coach Andy Reid. This season, too many things went wrong for the team, capped off with Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL in the game that sunk the Chiefs' season.Mahomes isn't expecting to miss any time next season, but one down season is enough for fans to call this the end of the Chiefs' dynasty. Some saw it coming, pointing out that regression was going to hit hard after Kansas City won so many one-score games in recent years that easily could have swung the other way. It certainly did in 2025. But the manner in which the Chiefs lost has called into question Reid's job […]
