Are you serious?

[Matt from A700]

Three days before the game and still no score prediction thread? Gimme:

Mean Green 41
Mildcats 17

Hopefully Seth learns a lesson and pulls Mason after the third if/when it's 38-10, and get one of our backups some reps.

Vegas rarely gives odds on FBS vs. FCS matchups.

We are three days into game week and no official game thread.  Weird.

Perhaps this is something we’ve only done for bball.

[MeanGreenTexan]

So many variables to start the year...    We've not seen the new offense yet, we don't know if the new LBs can fill EJs/BGs shoes, can our CBs cover?

I expect a few growing pains in this first game as ACU is going to come in and give everything they've got while we truly use this game as a "tune-up".   Still, I expect a team with Mason Fine QB'ing against a FCS team should have the game put away by the 4th quarter.

 

NT: 41
ACU: 24

I’m still wrapping my head around that it’s game week.

Agree, but they could get a score on a blown play, etc., so:

UNT: 48

ACU: 13

[DeepGreen]

And Arkansas plays Portland State.

[GreenTexan13]

Eagles- 54

Wildcats- 19

I would go with a lower score on ACU's part, but backups will replace our starters 2nd half causing ACU to get some points in.

Our offense is actually called "winning offense" not  "spread offense". See attachment...

55-0

I can't imagine that any ACU football fan holds any hope of us beating UNT -- I was at the game at Troy when we beat them a few years ago and I never imagined we could stay close to them. We are not as woeful as some on the board might think (like our friend MCMLXXX just posted), but we are realistic about how we will do in this game. 

ACU's task is give the Mean Green enough of a game to keep from being embarrassed and keep their starters on the field longer than the UNT coaches wish to see them. I undoubtedly think you are better than the Baylor team we faced last year. But, this year's ACU team appears to be considerably better than last year's team that finally found its footing after the UIW game -- going 4-2 after that game. 

The current 20.5 point spread is actually being a little kinder to ACU than I might have expected. If we can keep it to 20 points, I will be thrilled. So, being biased toward ACU, I will hope for a 41-21 score. 

And, as you can tell from my moniker, I am a huge track and field fan. It this was a dual meet between the Mean Green and ACU track teams, it would be a completely different story, particularly for the men's team.

Didn't realize he was an ACU alum.  Something tells me he might have been a handful as a student.
