https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2852937-college-football-picks-week-3-predictions-for-every-game#slide6 North Texas at California (4:15 p.m. ET, California -13.5) North Texas should be a good litmus test for California's potential on offense. Led by quarterback Mason Fine, the Mean Green will move the ball and get a few scores, even against this excellent Golden Bears defense. But any competent offense should be able to score against North Texas' D. Even Abilene Christian put up 31 points and 456 yards of total offense in the opener. If Cal is to be taken seriously as a Pac-12 contender following last week's upset of Washington, it has to score at least 40. Prediction: California 42, North Texas 24

At least they are showing us some respect! GMG https://www.californiagoldenblogs.com/2019/9/11/20832743/california-golden-bears-north-texas-mean-green-littrell-fine-torrey-siggers-bussey-durden-lawrence "First, as a quick note, I’m terrified of saying something to jinx Cal."

If they win, all is forgiven and right with the world again. SMU's victory won't mean much if we beat Cal on the road IMO.

I feel bad saying this, but I'm surprised it's only 12 points after last night. A lot was exposed...

This basically shakes out to 35–23 in favor of Cal.

I think these guys usually call balls & strikes, so I was very happy to read this preview. GMG! https://www.underdogdynasty.com/2019/9/6/18510447/north-texas-mean-green-vs-smu-mustangs-game-preview-conference-usa-dallas-fine-buchele

https://www.betfirm.com/north-texas-smu-odds/ I feel more comfortable leaning toward North Texas to win and cover. The Mean Green are in better shape offensively and will be much more difficult to stop once they get rolling than the Mustangs. Eventually, North Texas will get the separation they need to cover the 3.5-point spread.

https://247sports.com/college/north-texas/ContentGallery/North-Texas-Mean-Green-football-vs-SMU-Ten-things-to-watch-135202594/#135202594_10 I do think North Texas wins the game simply because I trust Fine more than Buechele in the end, so I’ll take North Texas to cover and win straight up. MeanGreen247’s prediction: North Texas 42, SMU 38

https://www.underdogdynasty.com/2019/9/5/20851742/choosing-c-usa-week-2-2019 SMU Mustangs vs North Texas Mean Green - 7 PM ET In a battle of two decent offenses, North Texas should take this one. Expect a lot of points to be scored.

Exactly! Get a big lead early and cause some desperation for them so they make some mistakes. Time for BR to shine!
