Texas State Bobcats vs James Madison Dukes prediction
The James Madison Dukes are the more talented team, they're arguably the best team in the Sun Belt, and they're a profitable 18-13 ATS on the year. James Madison also smoked Texas State back in December and the Bobcats will play their fourth game in the last 5 days, so I'm not shocked why the line is the line. With that said, Texas State is plying its best ball of the season with 6 straight wins and the offense has been locked in. Texas State could have tired legs, but we're getting double-digit points with a hot team. Give me Texas State and the points.
Randy’s Pick Texas State +11.5
