PICK: I’m going with Texas State. The Bobcats had a solid overall effort against UL-Monroe in their last game, with 434 total yards, 20 first downs and no turnovers. Texas State did give up quite a bit of offense—432 yards, 27 first downs and 11-of-22 on third downs—but 

As for Georgia Southern, they couldn’t get much going against Coastal Carolina, posting just 233 total yards, 16 first downs and four turnovers during the game. The Eagles should look better here, but I think Texas State still has the edge on a potential cover.
