Game Totals Pick

The Mean Green of North Texas take the short jaunt from Denton to Dallas for this AAC battle. North Texas has a good possibility of winning the final three games, with a pair of 3-6 teams on the schedule after this game. If UNT wins out, it would miraculously become bowl eligible. But topping SMU is the biggest obstacle remaining. While UNT has won just once in the past five games overall, the Mean Green is 4-0-1 ATS in the past five outings. The North Texas offense isn’t the problem this season, as it has scored 24 or more points in eight straight games, and 39 or more points in five of those outings. It’s the defense which has hurt the Mean Green, allowing 468.3 total yards per game, and 36.7 points per outing. The UNT offense is tremendous, however, going for 482.3 total yards per game, 301.7 passing yards per game and 34.8 points per outing.

The SMU have also picked up the pace on offense, putting the pedal to the metal with 31 or more points in five consecutive outings, while hitting the Over in three consecutive outings. We saw a 36-31 win on the road against Rice last time out for the Mustangs, and we should see an even bigger track meet this weekend against a powerful North Texas offense. The winning team in five of the previous six meetings in this series has notched at least 46 points, and the losing team has had at least 21 points in five of the past seven in this series. Track meets between these Texas schools is the norm.
