Rice at North Texas

Rice is down to its last chance to become bowl eligible. The Owls were 5-4 need just 1 win in their last 3 games to do it, but failed against a pair of strong teams in UTSA, and W Kentucky. A win here by North Texas gets them into the Championship game. That might sound good, but this is still a 6-5 team. I think the Mean Green are going to be feeling a lot of pressure to reach the Championship game, and what looks like an easy win, is not going to be as easy as it looks. Rice has its own mission in this one, but the pressure is clearly on North Texas. I like Rice in this one.
