CORNERBACKS CB1: Nate Brooks CB2: Jordan Roberts CB1: Cam Johnson OR Jordan Roberts OR Kemon Hall Nickel CB1: Tyreke Davis OR Jameel Moore Davis was second on the team with ten tackles on Saturday, meanwhile Cam Johnson started his second game and held up fairly well, not giving up too many big plays. This unit will be tested against a physical UAB team, but Erdly and the receivers have had plenty of explosive plays to keep an eye out for.

Gasparilla Bowl (Tampa) — Cincinnati vs. North Texas — 8 p.m., Dec. 20 The Mean Green may have a shot to stay close to home and play in the First Responders Bowl in Dallas, but Louisiana Tech should have first dibs on that game. This would be a healthy trip for UNT fans, but Cincinnati would offer a solid match-up. https://www.sunherald.com/sports/college/conference-usa/article220073280.html

Here's their latest Week 7 in review - they should have their predictions this week available on Thursday afternoon. https://www.underdogdynasty.com/2018/10/15/17979410/conference-usa-power-rankings-week-7-cua-football-uab-la-tech-north-texas-fiu-mtsu-marshal-fau-utsa

I was there and by game time everything was great in terms of weather. But, to be fair, the time leading up to the game was pretty bad. I live in Celina and we had severe thunderstorm warnings and heavy, heavy rain. It would have been easy to just decide not to go. And, judging by the condition of the the Alumni Pavilion, the rain must have been very heavy in Denton, too. Plus, the lighting delay. I think it's understandable folks not showing given all these issues. But, a better effort could have been made at game time advising people of the current weather conditions and that it was Ok to come to the stadium (social media, email blast, etc.). The student section was a sad sight to see, so perhaps getting word to the students via whatever apps the school uses to communicate would have done some good, too. Lessons learned, but I expect the last two home games to be a big crowd. GMG

https://freepicks.picksandparlays.net/more-free-picks/college-football-picks/southern-mississippi-at-north-texas-101318-college-football-picks-and-predictions/ The Mean Green have a great offense and it is going to really dominate over the Golden Eagles defense that has had its fair share of struggles on the season so far. Look for the Golden Eagles offense to be able to actually be able to do decent, but the pass defense of the Mean Green will slow down Abraham, which cannot be said for the Golden Eagles pass defense against Fine. Final Score Prediction, North Texas Mean Green win and cover ATS 35-24.

The line is -8.5

I'm wishing UTEP lots of luck for their game with LaTech...GO MINERS!
