SMU at North Texas

Premium Pick

The SMU Mustangs ran into a brick wall last week. They had to take to the road and square off with the high-octane offense of Baylor. They had to deal with even more than that as Baylor was christening their brand new stadium, and the crowd and players were amped. They were beaten badly, and now move on to face North Texas. The Mean Green also had a strong Texas greeting in their opener, dropping a 38-7 decision to the Longhorns. While both teams looked bad, there is more to work with at SMU, and a better coach on the sidelines in June Jones. This is a fertile recruiting battleground for both teams, so SMU will have to bring their "A" game for this one. North texas lost almost everything from a year ago, and this is not the type of team that re-tools in one year, so expect a long season. The Mustangs are looking to add to their four game ATS winning streak following a loss, and they are also 9-3 ATS following a spread loss. While it didn't show against Baylor in an impossible situation,  the Stangs have more in the cupboard. Take SMU.
