North Texas Mean Green vs. Charlotte 49ers Prediction

I’m on North Texas here. I know it’s a huge number and the Mean Green have a lot of teams they need to jump over to win the AAC, but North Texas has no choice but to accrue style points by beating up on bad teams. The good news is that Charlotte’s one of the worst teams, if not the worst team in the AAC, and North Texas’ offense has been elite all season long. I see no reason to deviate from that here so give me North Texas.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: North Texas -25.5
