<\/p>\nRosales’ prediction: A 68.5-point total feels steep considering these are two of the AAC\u2019s stronger defenses.<\/p>\n

Friday night\u2019s showdown between American Conference foes South Florida and North Texas marks the most significant meeting in the history of their rivalry.<\/p>\n
Ranked No. 24, USF has already notched statement wins over Boise State and Florida. Meanwhile, North Texas has rolled to a 5-0 start, dominating opponents along the way. With the Bulls as their only currently ranked opponent, this matchup could define the Mean Green\u2019s season.<\/p>\n

South Florida vs North Texas prediction<\/p>\n South Florida vs North Texas best bet: Under 68.5 (-115)<\/p>\n I understand the books need to protect themselves, but this is a massive total.\u00a0<\/p>\n Such is the case because the North Texas Mean Green<\/a> lead the American at 44.8 points per game, scoring 33+ in all five games and 45+ three times. The South Florida Bulls<\/a> are also scoring in bunches, tallying 117 points in back-to-back wins over South Carolina State and Charlotte.<\/p>\n However, they\u2019ve been stingy in the level-up games, holding Boise State to seven points and Florida to 16. Only their 49-12 loss to Miami went Over the total among their ranked matchups. \u00a0<\/p>\n Both teams rank inside the conference\u2019s Top 6 in scoring defense, with North Texas allowing 20 points per game and South Florida a couple of ticks down at 22.4 points.<\/p>\n North Texas is the top passing defense in the American, allowing just 135.8 yards per game and scoring strikes, while South Florida has a better run defense, a Top-5 mark at 132 yards per game.<\/p>\n There will still be plenty of offense, but with two of the top teams in the conference duking it out, expect resistance at times to bring this one just below the total.<\/p>\n South Florida vs North Texas same-game parlay<\/p>\n The quarters are under the spotlight for this SGP. Byrum Brown is coming off his best rushing day this season, ripping Charlotte for 162 yards and one score on a healthy 9.5 yards per tote.<\/p>\n The Mean Green have allowed two pivots to top this rush total on the season, and another ran for 59 yards. Brown should hit this figure comfortably.<\/p>\n The passing numbers for North Texas\u2019 Drew Mestemaker are complementary to a stellar run game, as he\u2019s thrown for 11 touchdowns to zero interceptions through five games.\u00a0However, save for a 329-yard passing day in the team\u2019s opener, Mestemaker has stayed Under this line in four straight.<\/p>\n South Florida vs North Texas SGP<\/p>\n Under 68.5 Our deep-ball SGP: Eyes like a Hawkins!<\/p>\n Caleb Hawkins missed the Western Michigan game, but he leads the team with seven touchdowns. He\u2019s coming off his biggest game of the year against South Alabama, running for 140 yards and two scores. He also had a 4-TD game against Army.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Chas Nimrod had a season-high five grabs in a win over Charlotte, though he only had 54 receiving yards, breaking his streak of 100+ yard games at two. I like him to bounce back here.<\/p>\n South Florida vs North Texas SGP<\/p>\n Under 68.5 South Florida vs North Texas game predictions USF is battle-tested against top-end competition, and I think that matters when comparing these two squads. North Texas needed overtime to get by Western Michigan, and was also in a shootout with Army that needed OT.<\/p>\n USF’s 4-1 ATS record feels more legit than that of North Texas. I’m siding with the Bulls.<\/p>\n South Florida vs North Texas spread prediction<\/p>\n This spread opened at North Texas -1.5 and has since flipped to South Florida’s side of the fence. Give me the Bulls.<\/p>\n South Florida vs North Texas Over\/Under prediction<\/p>\n This total is far too high for two of the best scoring defenses in the conference.
