Army 31

UNT 21

I'll stick to my original picks for wins and losses. I had this game as a loss initially and see no reason to change that prediction. Unfortunately, Rice was supposed to be a win.

Hope I'm wrong!

These have traditionally been relatively low scoring affairs. Last year especially with only 30 total points put up on the board. However, after analyzing all the data (thanks BeatNavy), I'm going with the following:

Army - 31

North Texas - 33

This time it's the other team that gives up the 4th quarter lead as The Mean Green win in a nail-biter.

Based on recent history:

We will immediately give up a huge play (probably for a TD) in one of Army's first three plays. Then, the defense will calm down, and our offense will begin to move the ball with some consistency. Finally, we will overtake them in the fourth quarter and grasp a small, tenuous lead. However, with their backs against the wall, Army will put together a scoring drive with ease and retake the lead. With two or three minutes to go 90 yards (there will be a kick return penalty) we will have to rely on the passing game to respond with a TD of our own. However, the drive will end dismally with a penalty/sack/turnover, and we will all bemoan how we couldn't quite get it done despite playing well enough to win. Dunham will sound epically depressed during the postgame show, and Dodge--with a hoarse, strained voice--will point to several key mistakes that cost the game.

On the bright side, we will statistically dominate Army in terms of total yards, first downs, and TOP. This will give us some "optimism" heading into next week despite yet another loss.

North Texas 48

Army 44

NT intends to jump on Army early and force them to have to pass the ball. The Mean Green offense does its job, but special teams continue to produce too many turnovers, penalties, and bad field position. The defense plays well but is put into too many bad situations, and gets tired in the second half.

The score could easily go the other way.
