DMN Week 2 Picks

[Talon90]

"While those are the region's -- and nation's -- two marquee games this weekend, there are other games involving local schools that should be both competitive and interesting, too. The biggest of those contests is a battle between DFW rivals SMU and North Texas. Last year's game was anything but competitive, with the Mean Green doubling up the Mustangs. But SMU is coming off a big road win against Arkansas State to open the season and is a slight favorite against North Texas for their Saturday battle in Dallas."

about 50/50, which is what you would expect from a rivalry game.

When did arkansas st become a big win? The P6 should always win those games.

Ark State does have 71 wins and played in 8 bowl games since 2010 so they aren't necessarily a power house but they aren't a team to simply be overlooked either.

Absolutely this. Respect to Ark. State, but it's not a "big" win when an AAC opponent comes in and defeats a Sun Belt team.

This is what fuels the rivalry. More 50/50 games with heartbreak (on SMU's side) is what will push this thing to a full-blown Thanksgiving-Day-esque Safeway Bowl. Gobble gobble, bitches.

We should be DM'ing SMU player's girlfriends prior to the game

Line has moved to 3 points from the original 4.5.

Dykes' wife will be so embarrassed after we smoke the Ponies that she will be long gone.
