T.M. Selection: MTSU (8* MONEY-TRAIN).

The Mean Green defense has allowed a combined 155 points over its three losses and I think it'll once again have trouble containing their opponent today. Last week North Texas allowed seven TD's to Charlotte. Austin Aune was a bright spot for the Mean Green with 385 passing yards and three TD's, but it was unable to keep up down the stretch. MTSU enters off a hard-fought 31-28 win over FIU, its first victory of the year and I expect it to keep the foot on the gas again here. North Texas has struggled inside the red zone, scoring on just 10 of 17 possessions with nine TD's. MTSU's strength on the dfensive side is against the pass, allowing just 166 passing yards per game, so that matches up well against the pass-happy Mean Green. The Blue Raiders are also 9-2 ATS in their last 11 vs. teams with losing records. I'm laying the points and expecting a complete blowout!

T.M. Prediction: 43-30 MTSU.
