Army Black Knights at North Texas Mean Green Preview
The Army Black Knights, boasting an impressive 8-0 record and a perfect 6-0 in the American Athletic Conference, are set to face the North Texas Mean Green, who stand at 5-3 overall. This matchup promises to be a compelling clash of styles, with Army's top-ranked scoring defense pitted against North Texas's potent offense, which ranks sixth in scoring. The Black Knights are coming off a dominant 20-3 victory over the Air Force Falcons, a game where backup quarterback DeWayne Coleman stepped in admirably for the injured Bryson Daily. Coleman, who completed five passes for 48 yards and added 42 rushing yards, will be ready to lead the team again if Daily is not cleared to play. Army's ground game, led by Kanye Udoh's 158 rushing yards and two touchdowns against Air Force, remains a formidable force.
On the other side, North Texas is eager to rebound from a narrow 45-37 loss to Tulane. Quarterback Chandler Morris delivered a standout performance, throwing for 449 yards and three touchdowns, while also adding a rushing score. His connection with receiver DT Sheffield, who caught nine passes for 125 yards and a touchdown, will be crucial against Army's staunch defense. The Mean Green will need to find a way to penetrate the Black Knights' defensive line, which has been a brick wall for opponents this season.
As the game unfolds at DATCU Stadium in Denton, Texas, the stakes are high for both teams. Army aims to maintain its unbeaten streak and solidify its position in the AAC, while North Texas seeks a signature win to boost its season. With the game airing on ESPN2, fans can expect a thrilling encounter as these two teams battle for supremacy on the gridiron.
Army Black Knights at North Texas Mean Green Pick: Army Black Knights Moneyline
The Army Black Knights are poised to continue their unbeaten streak as they face the North Texas Mean Green, and the moneyline pick for this matchup strongly favors Army. The Black Knights have demonstrated exceptional form this season, boasting an 8-0 record and a perfect 6-0 in the American Athletic Conference. Their recent 20-3 victory over the Air Force Falcons showcased their defensive prowess, which is currently ranked first in scoring defense. This formidable defense will be a significant challenge for North Texas, whose offense, while potent, has shown vulnerabilities, as evidenced by their recent 45-37 loss to Tulane.
Army's ability to adapt and overcome adversity is another reason to back them in this matchup. With starting quarterback Bryson Daily's status uncertain, backup DeWayne Coleman has proven to be a reliable leader on the field. In the game against Air Force, Coleman completed five passes for 48 yards and added 42 rushing yards, demonstrating his dual-threat capability. Additionally, Army's ground game, led by Kanye Udoh, who rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns against Air Force, remains a critical component of their offensive strategy.
On the other hand, North Texas, despite their strong offensive showing led by quarterback Chandler Morris, who threw for 449 yards and three touchdowns against Tulane, will face a daunting task in breaking through Army's staunch defense. The Mean Green's recent loss highlighted their defensive weaknesses, which Army is well-equipped to exploit.
Given Army's consistent performance, superior defense, and the ability to adapt under pressure, they are the favored pick to secure a victory in this matchup. With the game set to air on ESPN2, fans can expect Army to maintain their dominance and extend their winning streak, making them the smart moneyline choice.
Army Black Knights at North Texas Mean Green Top Player Prop Picks
DeWayne Coleman Over 48.5 Rushing Yards Rushing Yards -110 (BetMGM)
DeWayne Coleman has shown his capability as a dual-threat quarterback, stepping in for the injured Bryson Daily. In the recent game against Air Force, Coleman not only completed five passes for 48 yards but also demonstrated his rushing prowess with 42 yards on the ground. Given Army's reliance on their ground game, and with Coleman's ability to contribute significantly in this area, betting on him to exceed 48.5 rushing yards seems a solid choice. The Black Knights' offensive strategy heavily leans on the run, and with Coleman's dual-threat nature, he is likely to surpass this line against a North Texas defense that has shown vulnerabilities.
Kanye Udoh Over 100.5 Rushing Yards Rushing Yards -115 (FanDuel)
Kanye Udoh has been a standout performer for the Army Black Knights, particularly in their recent victory over Air Force, where he rushed for an impressive 158 yards and scored two touchdowns. Army's offensive scheme is built around a powerful rushing attack, and Udoh is at the heart of this strategy. With North Texas's defense having allowed significant yardage in their recent loss to Tulane, Udoh is poised to have another big game. Betting on him to exceed 100.5 rushing yards is supported by his recent form and the Black Knights' commitment to the run game.
Chandler Morris Over 2.5 Passing Touchdowns Passing Touchdowns +120 (DraftKings)
Chandler Morris has been a bright spot for the North Texas Mean Green, particularly in their recent game against Tulane, where he threw for 449 yards and three touchdowns. Despite facing Army's top-ranked scoring defense, Morris's ability to find the end zone through the air remains a key component of North Texas's offensive strategy. His connection with receiver DT Sheffield, who had nine catches for 125 yards and a touchdown against Tulane, will be crucial. Given Morris's recent performance and the necessity for North Texas to score through the air to compete with Army, betting on him to throw over 2.5 touchdowns offers value, especially at plus odds.
