Army vs North Texas Prediction
North Texas is probably the more talented team, but there’s value to getting points with a home team that has the rest advantage. It’s also not easy to prepare for Army’s triple-option offense in just one week. Army also just beat Kansas State as a 17-point underdog, so it’s strange seeing oddsmakers still down on this squad. North Texas is 4-9 ATS in its last 13 games as a road favorite. Army has outright won 4 of its last 5 games as an underdog. I’m grabbing the points with Army in a game it could win outright.
