This Saturday’s matchup between the Utah State Aggies and Texas State Bobcats offers some interesting betting angles. Utah State comes in with a 2-4 record, while Texas State holds a slightly better 3-3. The Bobcats are favored by 13.5 points at home, with odds of -118 on the spread. That means you’d need to bet $118 to win $100 if you take Texas State to cover the spread.
On the flip side, the Aggies are the underdog at +13.5 points, priced at -102. Betting on Utah State with the points means they can either win outright or lose by less than 14 points for you to cash your ticket. The moneyline odds also show a clear favorite: Texas State at -535, meaning a $535 bet wins $100, while Utah State’s moneyline is a hefty +400, reflecting their underdog status.
The total is set at 60.5 points, with the over slightly favored at -115 compared to -105 on the under. This suggests the sportsbook expects a moderately high-scoring game but is pricing the over just a bit more aggressively.
Given Texas State’s home advantage and better record, they look like the safer bet to win outright. However, the 13.5-point spread is substantial. If you like Utah State, taking them with the points could be a smart play, especially if you think the game stays closer than expected. The total invites consideration for either side, but the slight lean on the over hints at scoring opportunities on both ends.
