Premium Pick

North Texas needs this game to become Bowl eligible. They aided their cause with last week's 29-23 win over Southern Miss when Alec Morris was 14-of-29 for 267 yards and two touchdowns, and Willy Ivery rushed for 111 yards on 18 carries. The Mean Green is 6-4-1 ATS this season while UTEP is 3-8 straight-up and 4-6-1 ATS. The Miners have beaten only New Mexico State, Texas-San Antonio and Houston Baptist. UTEP comes off a 44-24 loss to Rice while gaining a total of just 232 yards of offense and 63 rushing yards on 18 carries for a 3.5 average. Quarterback Ryan Metz was 19-of-34 for 169 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. The Miners are #81 in the country in yards allowed (429.6) and #110 in points allowed per game (35.9). North Texas looks to avenge last year's 20-17 loss to the Miners, who are 1-4 ATS their last five home games and 1-3-1 ATS their last five conference games overall. North Texas has covered the number 11 of its last 16 against losing teams, so play the Mean Green.
