Pick Ideas

Incarnate Word plus the points

Consider Incarnate Word plus the points at -110 or better; the underdog is attractive if the market stays above 30.

Look for over 63.5 rather than 64.5

If betting the over, use the lower available total rather than the higher one.

Avoid the Texas State moneyline at extreme juice

Texas State's -4,000 to -5,355 moneyline is expensive, so the spread offers more value for a standalone wager.

Wait for Kylen Evans confirmation before player markets

Wait for confirmation before using the affected Texas State receiving or touchdown markets; if Evans is ruled out, reassess Bobcats props.

Use a correlated Texas State blowout angle selectively

A spread-and-total combination fits a blowout-and-high-scoring script, but only at acceptable combined pricing.
