Army vs North Texas Prediction
The Army Black Knights are not only undefeated on the season, but they've covered 8 of their last 10 games. The North Texas Mean Green do have the offense to hang around with Army, but they've also been horrible defensively, and that's going to be an issue in this spot. I'm not trying to step in front of Army, the surprise team of the college football season and a team that will sneak into the playoff if this winning continues. Give me Army by a touchdown on the road.
