North Texas vs. Memphis Prediction

I’m on North Texas here. I know the Tigers are on a roll and frankly, I’m not used to this kind of Memphis team, one that wins games with strong defensive efforts. That being said, I do think Memphis puts up points on the Mean Green here, but this North Texas offense has the firepower to go shot for shot with whoever they’re up against and I think it’s going to be an entertaining track meet, but in the end, this is just a case of too many points. Give me the Mean Green here.
