Free CFB Betting Insights for 10/3/24

The Texas State Bobcats and the Troy Trojans will meet in a pivotal Sun Belt Conference showdown at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Texas State enters the game looking to regain momentum after a heart-breaking 40-39 loss to Sam Houston State. The Bobcats have a dynamic offense that ranks 22nd in the FBS, averaging 37.5 points per game and 451.8 yards per contest. Quarterback Jordan McCloud has been a standout, throwing for 1,141 yards and 12 touchdowns. His primary targets, Joey Hobert and Jaden Williams, have combined for 564 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. On the other side, Troy has struggled this season, currently sitting at 1-4.

The Trojans’ offense has been inconsistent, averaging only 21.4 points per game. Injuries at quarterback have plagued the team, with Will Crowder out and backups Tucker Kilcrease and Matthew Caldwell failing to provide stability. Troy’s best offensive weapon has been wide receiver Devonte Ross, who has 529 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. Defensively, Texas State has allowed 27 points per game, while Troy’s defense has given up 25.8 points per game. The key for Texas State will be to avoid turnovers and capitalize on Troy’s weak pass defense. If the Bobcats can execute offensively, they have a good chance of breaking their winless streak at Troy.

Bobcats AI Preview

The Texas State Bobcats are looking to bounce back after two straight losses and maintain their standing in the Sun Belt Conference. Quarterback Jordan McCloud has been the centerpiece of their high-scoring offense, throwing for 1,141 yards and 12 touchdowns through four games. The Bobcats are averaging 294 passing yards per game and have one of the most balanced offenses in the conference, with Ismail Mahdi contributing 307 rushing yards on the ground.

The secondary has been effective, allowing only 207.5 passing yards per contest. The Bobcats will need to shore up their run defense to prevent Troy’s Damien Taylor from controlling the tempo of the game. Overall, Texas State’s high-powered offense gives them the edge, but defensive inconsistency could open the door for the Trojans to pull off an upset.

Trojans AI Preview

The Troy Trojans are in a tough spot this season, having lost four of their first five games. Injuries at quarterback have hampered their offensive rhythm, forcing them to rely heavily on the ground game and short passes. With starting quarterback Will Crowder out, backups Tucker Kilcrease and Matthew Caldwell have been underwhelming, combining for only 399 passing yards and 2 touchdowns. The Trojans’ run game, led by Damien Taylor (336 yards, 2 touchdowns), has been their most consistent offensive unit, but without a balanced attack, they have struggled to sustain drives. Defensively, the Trojans have been vulnerable, allowing 363.4 total yards per game and ranking 101st in the nation in rushing defense, giving up 175.2 yards per contest. Linebackers Jordan Stringer and Brendan Jackson have been the most productive players, each recording over 30 tackles. To beat Texas State, the Trojans will need to force turnovers and limit explosive plays from McCloud and the Bobcats’ passing attack.
