Incarnate Word vs Texas State Prediction
Texas State entered this season as a conference contender, and I haven’t been all that impressed up to this point. There’s still time to turn things around, and maybe that win over North Texas gets these guys in gear. I’m looking at the over. Texas State has a high-powered offense that can score quickly and should do a lot of it against Incarnate Word. However, Texas State has been dreadful defensively up to this point. IW should have its chances to score. This should be a high-scoring game even if Texas State does most of the heavy lifting. Give me the over.
