Shane’s Free Pick
These are two teams that have both found a ton of offensive success this season and there is going to be no shortage of scoring in this game. UTSA has had no issue running up the score, but I don’t trust their defense and that is going to be the difference in this game. Look for both UTSA and North Texas to run up the score, and that is going to be the difference as this game is going to go over the total.
