Bet Texas State to Cover the Spread North Texas in the SERVEPRO First Responder Bowl

Any SERVEPRO First Responder Bowl betting preview that doesn’t outline how hard the transfer portal hit North Texas is not doing its job. The Mean Green had two of its best players plucked from their roster ahead of their game against the Bobcats:

• Starting Quarterback Chandler Morris: Threw for more than 3,700 yards this season with 31 touchdowns and only 12 interceptions. Morris was a second-team all-conference selection at quarterback in the American this season. His replacement will likely be true freshman Drew Mestemaker who has thrown a total of five passes in college football.
  Starting Wide Receiver DT Sheffield: Led the team in all major receiving categories, with 66 catches, 822 receiving yards, and 11 touchdown catches. Sheffield was an all-conference first-team wide receiver this year and a third-team all-conference selection as a return specialist.

Those two losses at key positions for North Texas more than offset the portal opt outs for Texas State that include Ismail Mahdi (1st team all-Sun Belt running back) and Alex Harkey (3rd team all-Sun Belt right tackle).

Texas State’s advantage in returning talent isn’t the only reason to include them covering the 13.5-spread as part of a parlay at college football betting sites either.

The Bobcats have also been better on both sides of the ball than the Mean Green, specifically on defense.

Texas State and North Texas Offensive and Defensive Rankings

Between the loss of key star offensive players for North Texas and the fact that Texas State has been better on both offense and defense than the Mean Green, the Bobcats to cover the spread as 13.5 points should be included in any parlay of First Responder Bowl odds.

Bet on Texas State over 37.5 Points

BetOnline allows bettors to choose what team total over/under they would like to include in a parlay. 37.5 points were chosen for Texas State because their offense has been dominant in their last four games and it boosts the parlay’s odds more than lower team totals.

Starting first with their last four games, Texas State’s offense has become difficult to ignore as one of the best in the country.

Bet on Jordan McCloud and Lincoln Pare to Score Touchdowns

The final legs of this North Texas vs Texas State parlay are for Bobcats Jordan McCloud and Lincoln Pare to score rushing or receiving touchdowns in the First Responder Bowl.

There are multiple reasons to bet on both players to score a touchdown at Texas sports betting sites:

• McCloud (7 rushing touchdowns) and Pare (6 rushing touchdowns) were first and second on the Bobcats in rushing touchdowns this season. As 13.5-point favorites that we are predicting to cover, both should have many opportunities to find the endzone. This parlay also includes Texas State to have more than 37.5 points, which McCloud and Pare can help them achieve if they both score.
• Specific to Lincoln Pare, the news that the previous starter Ismail Mahdi will transfer to Arizona means that the former backup has an opportunity to be even more involved in the offense. Mahdi had a combined six rushing and receiving touchdowns this season.
• Both Jordan McCloud and Lincoln Pare have had success finding the endzone in recent games. McCloud has scored a rushing touchdown in five of his last eight games, while Pare has scored in his last three games.
