S. Miss +7
Before these last 3 games S. Miss was in regression mode after a 14- 3 ATS run.
Part of this is a pure gamble because Starting QB is still up in the air.

Z. Wilcke | QB | Ques Sat - Personal
( Mon, Sep 25) | |
Wilcke has sat out the past four games due to a personal matter, and it is up in the air if he will face Texas State on Saturday. | | | |
According to this site he has not played this season. I know nothing about him, but what I do know is this same team was +9 at home Vs. Tulane with Tulane's back up QB.
Allow me to make my point.
Tulane -9 at S. Miss is not the same as
Texas St. -7 at S.Miss . Period. Texas State has no history of being Tulane even with Tulanes back up QB.
S. Miss offense runs the ball and Has Frank Gore Jr. If S. Miss (and I expect this to happen) they will control this game and get the cover. If Can play Wilcke can play they will provide even more offensive balance.
Texas State Schedule results:
week 1 beat Baylor but Baylor is pretty much a disaster. Still a great win for TX St.
week 2 lost a close game to UTSA, another team (UTSA that has struggled to find their best game) that isnt having their regular type of season.
week 3 beat Jackson St. FCS
week 4 played Nevada and were too big a favorite -17
Here is Tx St again off the first 3 games of covers laying too many points.
Last and in my opinion most important point. Texas State is 15-68 SU in away games. S. Miss even with a back up QB shouldn't be as bad as this line.
Even with a back up QB S. Miss runs the ball with their 2 good backs they are playing a team that rarely wins on the road after elevating to a -17 point line last week. This is another chance at a inflated line.
I get it its a type of PUKE game to bet on. Thats one of the best parts the away favorite is puke as well. They have been playing over their heads. Road games as favorite should slow them down.
