North Texas Mean Green vs. Troy State Trojans Prediction
After getting smoked by Florida Atlantic for the second time this season in the Conference USA Championship, the Mean Green come in with an exceptionally low stock. However, takers beware. This is a football team that can still finish with ten wins on the season. By UNT’s standards this would be an exceptional season and their offense can certainly generate enough firepower to give the Green a chance at victory. Troy is a household name at this point when it concerns mid-major clubs and that is what is likely driving this market combined with the fact the Trojans secured a piece of the Sun Belt Conference title. Nevertheless, Troy could have easily loss at Arkansas State given the fact the Red Wolves made terrific mistakes in the red zone. Moreover, Troy won the Sun Belt by virtue of a coin toss as they had to split the title with another big dog in the conference Appalachian State. The number is one that we like to see underdogs hover at. North Texas can pull the upset in The Big Easy.
