South Bama 7 point favorites against UNT

[Jonnyeagle]

Wow - I get we are on the road, and we weren’t good last year but this sort of shocked me!

From what I read, they scored 50 plus points four times last year. Will they do it this year, don't know.

I've never thought of South Alabama as a 'bad team' they've been competitive for the past 4 years... which is basically where we've been, and you can argue the Sun Belt has been a better conference a couple of those years

Pretty even..so many unknowns on both teams. This game should mean a lot to both teams. I'm sure Major Applewhite wants this game bad being he's the new coach with new QB and others. They kind of got hit by NIL/TRANSFER PORTAL too...

Where have you been?  On paper, being 7 point underdogs is fairly generous--to us.

It's SOUTH Alabama we are playing just FYI.

Yes, the South Alabama that destroyed Okie State in Stillwater and won their bowl game.  I know they have some changes from last year, but when setting the line for the first game you have to go with what you've actually seen.

If we were only 7-point underdogs against Alabama I think I would ask if this is real life

The Jags are no joke but I do expect North Texas to win.

those odds are fair, UNT is on the road after all, but this is a very winnable game, and UNT needs to win this game.
