Army @ North Texas picks

We will wait and see if Army QB Bryson Daily plays this week, a last-minute scratch on Saturday against rival Air Force. Whatever injury or illness held out Daily, Army has said it expects him back this season. Logic says not this week. The Black Knights next have an idle week before a pivotal matchup with Notre Dame. Let Daily find full health while a traditional ball-control triple-option attack outpaces North Texas, a defense that ranks in the bottom third of the country in rushing success rate and EPA per rush against. But that ball-control offense, devoid of explosive passing without Daily, will doom this game to an Under, possibly by multiple scores.
