The Texas State Bobcats will be looking to rebound from a 42-34 loss to Incarnate Word in their last game. Heading into their game against Incarnate Word, Brady McBride’s thrown for 321 yards, 2 touchdowns and 3 picks on 53.5% passing while Calvin Hill has a team-high 103 rushing yards and Brock Sturges has rushed for a pair of scores of his own. Marcell Barbee has a team-high 12 grabs for 123 yards and a touchdown this season for Texas State’s receiving group. Defensively, Troy Lefeged Jr. leads Texas State with 17 total tackles including a team-high 9 solo tackles while Zion Childress also has 9 solo tackles and this season.

Texas State is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 September games. Eastern Michigan is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games following a loss while the under is 6-1-1 in their last 8 games as a home favorite.
This is a bit of a tricky game because both teams had cons against them last week. Obviously Texas State with the loss to Incarnate Word while Eastern Michigan gave up 28 points to a pretty bad UMass team. With that said, Eastern Michigan at least won and while these Sun Belt teams can be tough, I want nothing to do with Texas State after that UIW game. Give me Eastern Michigan at home here.
