North Texas is laying more than four touchdowns in this matchup, but the biggest margin between these teams the last six meetings was 20 points, and that was a win by Rice in 2014. North Texas is 1-3 ATS its last four games, including its 29-21 loss at UAB last week when the Mean Green managed only 64 rushing yards on 2.8 yards per carry. Mean Green quarterback Mason Fine did complete 29 of 40 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns, but his team was shut out in the second half. Rice covered the number at Florida International while losing 36-17 as a 24-point underdog. The one bright spot for Rice was its freshman QB Evan Marshman, who provided most of the offense against FIU throwing for 107 yards on 11-of-15 passing and rushing for 68 yards with two touchdowns on 11 carries in his second game of the season. That alone is enough to give the Owls a great opportunity to cover this big number. North Texas is 0-4 ATS its last four following a loss, 2-5 ATS its last seven against teams with losing records, and 1-4 ATS its last five conference games. Grab the huge points with Rice.
