Top FAU vs. North Texas predictions<\/p>\n

After simulating North Texas vs. FAU<\/a> 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Under 76.5 points at\u00a0betting apps<\/a>.\u00a0While both teams have heavily leaned over this season, this is a massive total points line. It’s 13.5 points higher than any other Week 9 FBS game, as well as 13.5 points higher than any prior game this season involving FAU or North Texas. None of these teams’ recent matchups in Texas have even approached 76.5 as their last four have averaged 60.3 points.<\/p>\n

Despite both teams being known more for their prolific offenses than their stout defenses, both squads rank among the top four in passing defense in the American. They aren’t as successful in stopping the run, and the ground game eats up the clock. The model projects the teams to combine for nearly 300 rushing yards, which prevents them from coming close to the over\/under. The model forecasts 58 combined points as the Under hits in 86% of simulations.\u00a0See the model’s FAU vs. UNT spread and money-line picks at SportsLine<\/a>.<\/p>\n
