Utah State vs Texas State Prediction
This is a lot of points for a Texas State team that doesn’t play much defense, but it has had success in games where it should. Texas State just dominated Colorado State and beat a talented North Texas team in a shootout. Utah State has no offense to speak of, so this is a spot where Texas State should be able to flex its muscle with little worry of a counter. The line is just under two full touchdowns. I have to lay it with the Bobcats.
