Sep 27 forecast

North Texas ranks seventh nationally in passing and enters off a dominant offensive performance, so a North Texas win is narrowly favored.

North Texas is narrowly favored because its prolific passing game enters in sharp form while Tulsa is coming off a poor offensive showing at Arkansas. The case remains close: Tulsa has the stronger record, has defended well, and hosts a North Texas team that lost its first two road games. Tulsa quarterback uncertainty adds downside for the home team, but North Texas must translate success against weaker opposition into a short-rest road performance.
