Texas State at James Madison 10/1/22 - College Football Picks & Predictions

Sitting at 2-2, the Texas State Bobcats head east to battle the red hot James Madison Dukes. Looking to make some noise in the Sun Belt Conference, a win would go a long way in helping the Bobcats' cause.

Layne Hatcher has been solid for the Bobcats this year and has thrown for 1,067 yards to go along with 10 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Calvin Hill has been the bell cow for the Bobcats this year and has carried the ball 66 times for 307 yards and 1 touchdown. Ashytn Hawkins is the only receiving threat of note for the Bobcats and has 34 receptions for 308 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Sitting at 3-0 and coming off a major win against Appalachian State, the James Madison Dukes are riding high. The Dukes play host to the Texas State Bobcats in a Sun Belt Conference showdown and can ill afford a let down.

Colorado State Transfer Todd Centeio has manned the ship well for the Dukes this year. Centeio has thrown for 656 yards and 11 touchdowns and not thrown a single interception this season. Centeio also leads the Dukes in rushing with 200 yards on the ground. Kris Thorton has been the Dukes' top target this season and has 19 receptions for 246 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Texas State is one team that has not really been that impressive. However, the Dukes are coming in playing red hot as mentioned and are one team that has been overlooked. Look for the James Madison red hot streak to continue in this game here as the Bobcats struggle to keep the Dukes in check. Final Score Prediction, James Madison Dukes win but fail to cover 31-21.
