North Texas vs Western Michigan Prediction
North Texas may be the better team, but there’s no brownie points for beating up on Lamar. North Texas is still breaking in new players at key positions and has failed to cover 6 of its last 8 games as a double-digit favorite. Western Michigan should be battle tested after playing Michigan State and has covered 5 of its last 6 games as a double-digit underdog. In fact, despite the rough showing last week against Sparty, Western Michigan still covered the number. I just don’t think highly enough of North Texas to lay this number on the road. Give me the points with Western Michigan.
