Thoughts gents?
Why? NC State is a Bad team, cross country travel, one of the most disappointing teams in the country...Are they getting their QB back? Is your perspective contrarian...Cal is a good team, and unless they have injuries that I am unaware of, this may be the number one fave for week 8...I would appreciate your perspective...

I see this as a 50/50 game. But after further analysis. I can see Cal covering that 10. Didnt realize that NC state have not covered all year

Who can possibly forget the interviews when The Iron Sheik and Gene Okerland got together? I always loved the way the sheik always said Gene's name backwards as "Gene Mean". Sheik was definitely one of the best at promos. Hilarious stuff. Not to be outdone, the North Texas Mean Green certainly is underestimated in this contest. This team is 5-1 on the season. Yes, very impressive. Having said that, they haven’t beaten anyone yet and when they did play a good team, they kind of got crushed by Texas Tech. The 66-21result of that smoting is misleading as the Mean Green was able to put up 353 yards of offense but suffered 3 turnovers, which quenched their point output. Speaking of offense, North Texas has been formidable. They are averaging 40.8 points per game. That’s not the kind of offense you want to be laying 11 points to. That’s a back door as big as the Lincoln tunnel. The Mean Green has some teeth also. In their victories, they laid the wood to Tulsa, Wyoming and South Alabama…winning these games by an average of 24 points per game. North Texas is completing 65% of its passes and averaging 5.2 yards per carry…they can move the chains in the air and on the ground. They are seventh in the nation in points per game this year, and third in yards per game. Memphis does have a decent defense, but the Mean Green is going to put up points. North Texas is fourth in the nation in passing yards per game. Memphis allowed over 200 yards per game passing this year and is 100th in the nation in opponent red zone scoring.
Memphis is not as good as Texas Tech…not even close. So putting that Texas Tech game aside, the lowest point scoring total that North Texas has posted has been 35 points. That means Memphis would need to score 47 points to cover. That’s a tall task since Memphis is only averaging 31 points per game and North Texas will arguably be the 2 best team that the Tigers will have faced this far. Turning to Memphis, the Tigers are also 5-1 this season. So this is a meaningful American Athletic Conference game. Winning is paramount, perhaps taking risk to run up the score is not. Memphis likes to run the ball…that will shorten the game. It will be hard to run away from a team like North Texas with that much offense in a game with limited possessions. North Texas can score and can score quickly. If you’re laying points in this game, there’s no way you rest easy until you see 0:00. I’m all over this live road dog with the potent passing attack. Give me the Mean Green +11.
