Georgia Bulldogs vs. UNT Mean Green Free Pick 9/21/13

[Harry]

The North Texas Mean Green are off to a 2-1 start after trailing Ball State last week they rallied for the win. QB Derek Thompson has completed nearly 71 percent of his passes for five touchdowns with two interceptions while rushing for 85 yards and another score. Brandin Byrd has rushed for 163 yards and two touchdowns and Reggie Pegram has rushed for 141 yards and two touchdowns. Darnell Smith has 22 catches, Brelin Chancellor has 16 catches, and Carlos Harris has 12 catches. Defensively North Texas has four interceptions, five sacks, and seven fumble recoveries. Zachary Orr has 32 tackles, Marcus Trice as 28 tackles, and Derek Akunne has 21 tackles. North Texas has done a great job creating turnovers and they will need to take advantage of them in this one to have a chance.

Georgia is 4-0 against the spread against the spread against a team with a winning record, 4-1 against the spread in their last five games, and 1-4 against the spread against CUSA. North Texas is 3-7 against the spread against the SEC, 1-5 against the spread in their last six road games, and 7-19 against the spread following a win.

This is a monster number but Georgia is more than capable of covering it but look for North Texas to keep it closer as Georgia plays down to their competition often in these type of games.

Georgia +36.5

Is that saying Georgia is a 37 point favorite? I'll take us against the spread then.

It means people are expected to bet Georgia heavily. I would take UNT to cover, personally.
