Army Black Knights vs. North Texas Mean Green - 10/22/16 College Football Pick, Odds, and Prediction

The North Texas Mean Green are 3-3 (2-1) this season after beating Marshall by a score of 38-21 in their last game. North Texas has alternated wins and losses every game this season and will have their hands full with the rushing attack of Army. The North Texas offense is averaging 25.8 points per game with 145.2 rushing yards and 205.2 passing yards per game. Mason Fine is completing 56% of his passes for 981 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception for North Texas. Jeffrey Wilson has rushed for 564 yards and 9 touchdowns, while Willy Ivery has added 187 yards and 3 scores for the Mean Green. Terian Goree has caught 22 passes for 194 yards, while Thaddeous Thompson has caught 21 passes for 327 yards and 1 touchdown for North Texas. The North Texas defense is giving up 28.7 points per game with 189 rushing yards and 229.8 passing yards per game. Cortney Finney has led the North Texas defense with 41 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 1 sack, while Kishawn McClain has added 41 tackles, 1 sack, and 3 interceptions. Trevor Moore has gone 3-4 on field goals, with a long of 31 yards.

Army has shown off an impressive rushing attack this season with a very strong defense to follow suit. North Texas has been more balanced on offense but is averaging about 10 points less than Army is per game. Defending the triple option is never easy, especially for a team like North Texas. I like Army to have a field day on the ground and to run their way to a victory.

Will be interesting to see how this 3-4-4 variation of our's handles the option.  Wish I could watch the game, but I'll be working.

This will be a tough battle for the Mean Green, and I think if the team manages a victory, a lot more people on this board will be on the #Hit6 bandwagon, but honestly I still think we're good with a 1-1 split on the road trip. Tough opponent, crazy offensive scheme, and the Mean Green haven't won a road game outside the Central Time Zone since September 29, 2012. If the Mean Green get just two scores behind early, I think it'll be a loss.
