North Texas vs. FAU Prediction

I’m on the Mean Green here. I just think that North Texas is the better team here and North Texas’ ATS issues have come laying big numbers because of how slow-paced and defensive-minded this team can be. But we’re catching points with the Mean Green here, who go out of their way to play low-scoring battles and FAU is just struggling to put up points which isn’t good for an FAU team that is offense-reliant. Give me North Texas and the points in this one.
