The Chanticleers (-7) are gearing up to welcome the Texas State Bobcats to Brooks Stadium. This conference matchup is scheduled to get underway at 12:00 p.m. ET and fans can catch the action by tuning in to ESPN+.
<h2>Texas State at Coastal Carolina Betting Odds 11/30/2019</h2>
Coastal Carolina is giving up 7 points in this SBC game. The Bobcats are currently getting +220 moneyline odds while the Chanticleers are -300. The over/under is set at 53 points. If one school can find paydirt in the early stages, it'll probably create a worthy betting opportunity in-game.

The line opened at -8 while the total has not changed after it was initially posted at 53.

The Bobcats are 3-8 straight up (SU), including 2-5 SU against conference opponents. The Chanticleers are 4-7 SU overall and are also 1-6 SU in conference play. The Bobcats are down 3.0 units so far and 1-7-2 against the spread (ATS). They've been a decent under bet and have posted an O/U record of 4-6.

The Chanticleers have lost 3.5 units this season. They're 7-4 ATS and have an O/U record of 6-5.

These two SBC foes did not get a chance to face each other last season.

The Bobcats hope to bounce back after a 35-13 loss to Appalachian State last week where Tyler Vitt completed only 18-of-34 passes for 154 yards, along with a TD and an interception. Javen Banks (five receptions, 82 yards, one TD) and Jeremiah Haydel (five catches, 25 yards) handled the receiving duties in the defeat.

Coastal Carolina narrowly lost a 45-42 game to Louisiana-Monroe. As a group, the Chanticleers collectively completed 14-of-22 passes for 222 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Fred Payton went 10-for-16 for 158 yards and three touchdowns while Bryce Carpenter was four-of-six for 64 yards and one interception. CJ Marable logged an outstanding statline in the loss. Along with 172 rushing yards on 18 attempts (and two TDs), Marable also reeled in four catches for 27 yards.

Texas State has run the ball on 43.2 percent of its offensive possessions this year while Coastal Carolina has a rush percentage of 59.9 percent. The Bobcats have run for 80 yards per game (including 100 per game versus Sun Belt opponents) and have eight touchdowns on the ground this year. The Chanticleers are putting up 193 rushing yards per contest (164 in conference) and have 23 total rush TDs.

The Bobcats have averaged 236 yards through the air overall (217 per game against conference opposition) and have 14 passing TDs so far. The Chanticleers have put up 202 pass yards per game (196.0 in the SBC) and have 19 total pass scores.

Texas State has allowed opponents to run for an average of 216 yards and pass for 203 yards per game. Coastal Carolina has allowed 171.6 rushing yards per game and 217.6 to opposing teams in the air. Both teams allow similar adjusted net yards per pass attempt (ANY/A) to opponents, as the Bobcats have given up an ANY/A of 7.38 to opposing QBs, while the Chanticleers are yielding an ANY/A of 7.28.

Vitt has put up 1,042 passing yards this year. He's connected on 95-of-154 attempts with seven passing touchdowns and nine interceptions. Vitt's got a 4.34 adjusted net yards per pass attempt overall, although that number is 2.63 over the past two outings.

As a group, Javen Banks, Robert Brown Jr. and Hutch White have combined for 347 total yards and four touchdowns over the last two outings.

Fred Payton has recorded 1,229 yards, 10 TDs and six INTs for Coastal Carolina. His ANY/A stands at 6.83 for the year and 8.00 over his past two outings.

We also expect the Coastal Carolina offense to spread things out this Saturday. As a group, CJ Marable, Ky'Jon Tyler and Bryce Carpenter have combined to account for 527 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns the last two outings.
