Army Black Knights vs. North Texas Mean Green Prediction, Odds and Tips

We have an important matchup in the AAC and I'm here with your Army Black Knights vs. North Texas Mean Green prediction for Saturday. The biggest question in this game is the availability of Bryson Daily, the Army quarterback. At the time of writing (Wednesday), Daily is listed as questionable – but my guess is that he's on the wrong side of questionable and that this is the kind of game-playing spirit we see from coaches at the college level who are constantly in the use. If Daily doesn't play, I'm going hard for the Mean Green. However, if we get to Saturday and Daily can keep up, that line will likely shift toward the Army. Right now my Army vs. North Texas prediction is North Texas +5.5.

Without Daily, the Army offensive had tremendous problems with the Air Force last week. Air Force is not a good defense at all, and while they can stop the triple option better than most other teams, Army didn't show the offensive threat it did for the rest of the season. There have been plenty of bad results, and when an options team backs down, they fail. On the other hand, this duel is already a difficult affair for Army. North Texas is the first real air attack the Knights have faced. In fact, Mean Green QB Chandler Morris leads the nation with nearly 360 yards per game (I bet you didn't know that!). Regardless of Daily's health, North Texas' offense will be a problem for Army. I think this game is a matchup problem for the Black Knights – even with Daily – and there's a strong chance that Army's magical season comes to an end. Give me the points with the Mean Green.

Army vs. North Texas forecast: North Texas +5.5 (-110) available at time of publication. Playable under this number.
