Chip's New Orleans Bowl
(NCAAF) Troy vs. North Texas,
Point Spread: 7.00 | -110.00 North Texas (Home)
Result: Loss
New Orleans Bowl- Sat. 1:00 ET
Troy vs. N. Texas State- These two are familiar with each other as their mutual Sun Belt experience that resulted in Troy's winning 8-of-10 meetings. North Texas was 7-1 in USA competition which I have to believe is a step (be it a small step) above the Sun Belt where the Trojans dominated on defense. Troy led the nation in Red Zone defense allowing only 23 scores in 39 attempts and they were 11th in scoring defense (17.5 points). But, the Trojans are just 2-7 ATS as favorites against CUSA and Mean Green is 7-2 ATS versus the Sun Belt and finally bowl favorites going 3-0 both SU and ATS are 1-11 ATS when facing a foe off a loss. A bit to chew but, (thanks ML) a winner. Take NORTH TEXAS STATE!
