Houston at North Texas 9/28/19 - College Football Picks & Predictions

The Houston Cougars (1 - 3) are trying to turn their season around with a road game against the North Texas Mean Green (2 - 2). North Texas will be hosting this game at the Apogee Stadium in Denton, TX. Houston comes into this game having lost two straight contests. North Texas, on the other hand, is looking to build on a blowout win over UTSA.

The Houston Cougars are taking the field with a team that is scoring 31 PPG on offense. Houston likes to pound the rock on the ground thanks to their dual-threat quarterback, D'Eriq King (663 passing yards, 6 TDs, 312 rushing yards, 6 TDs). While Houston can rack up points, their inability to get stops on defense has led the Cougars to give up 34 PPG this season. Houston has to start hot on offense in order to steal a road win in this game.

The North Texas Mean Green comes into this game scoring 35 PPG on offense behind the play of QB Mason Fine (940 yards, 9 TD, 3 INT). We like Fine to lead the Mean Green to a high-scoring game against a middling Houston defense. North Texas is only surrendering 27 PPG to opposing teams of their own, this season.

The North Texas team is coming in with an offense that has been very difficult to stop on the year. What else helps the Mean Green out is Houston has been struggling on the year and seems to have lost their identity this year and are still looking for it, even after the blowout win over UTEP. We like North Texas to stave off Houston in what should be a close and competitive game. Final Score Prediction, North Texas Mean Green win and cover ATS 30-24.
