The North Texas Mean meet the UTSA Roadrunners on Saturday in week 13 C-USA college football action at Apogee Stadium. The UTSA Roadrunners look to wrap up the regular season with a 12-0 record. The North Texas Mean look to build on their four-game winning streak.

The Roadrunners are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 road games and 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The Mean Green are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in November and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The over is 4-1 in Roadrunners last 5 road games. The under is 3-1-1 in Mean Green last 5 games overall. The home team is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

The North Texas Mean are playing impressive football down the stretch, and they need one more win to become bowl eligible. It’s also senior day, so there are tons of motivation for North Texas here at home. With that said, the UTSA Roadrunners have been winning and covering machines all season, and it’s almost impossible to step in front of them. Also, North Texas relies heavily on its rushing attack that’s fourth in the country, but UTSA has a rush defense that’s 10th best in the country. I can’t bet against the Roadrunners with their track record.
