    Game is a tossup in my opinion. I went with LA Tech and the points, but I'm off to an awful start to the year so....

    My line open at 3.5 to 4 back to 3.5... think NT defense is good enough to shut out la .. havent watch them play for a whike not sure if they are still an explosive team .

    LA Tech alum here with some info... We started out the year with a rough game at OU (which would be tough for almost anybody). Last weekend we went to ULL and whipped them at their place 48-20. ULL was a bowl team last year and was the unanimous pick to win the Sun Belt this year, so it was a good road win for us.

    When you look at tonight, UNT has practically NO passing offense. They are 126th in the nation in pass yards per game (only 61). They won their last game vs a terrible SMU team and only had 108 passing yards the whole game. I get it, the latter part of the game you're just running the ball to run the clock out, but only 108 yards in the air isn't great. Their running game is good, but it seems like they are one-dimensional.

    My Bulldogs were VERY one dimensional last year, kinda tough to watch. This year we have Iowa transfer Cody Sokol, who can throw pretty well. Last week we were very balanced (295 passing yds and 238 rushing yds). RB Kenneth Dixon has been a very good RB since he set the NCAA record for touchdowns by a freshman in 2012. He had a 99 yd rushing TD on Sat, so he's in good shape

    I'm going to the game tonight in Denton since I live in DFW, and I like our chances if we can load the box and make UNT throw it. I bet this when the line came out at +4.5. Yes, I'm partial... but I never love blowing $$ either. Hope this info helps. Go Dawgs

    I would have really liked LA Tech +6.5

    You may be right MoMoney... not sure how accurate this is: http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-...dds/las-vegas/

    Anyway, at my site it opened at +4.5... I wish I would've got +6.5 too!

    Flirting with this myself. I'm on La. Tech+4. It's hard for bad offensive teams to climb back in a game if/when they get behind. That's one angle I'm liking. I foresee a low scoring game with special teams and field position playing the biggest factor.

    Are you speaking in terms of travel? OU is 6.5 hours away. ULL was 3 hours and UNT is under 5 hours. Not completely sure but I would say that is dream travel distances for a division 1 program playing 3 consecutive road games.

    I know... 3 road games in 13 days isn't ideal. But there hasn't been any cross-country flights or anything, so there shouldn't be as much jetlag as you would expect. Well, I hope so at least

    I was at the game last week because I had some work down in Lafayette so I decided to check Cajun field out. The cajuns got crushed by La Tech and keep in mind this ULL team was a national title contender this year(well I exaggerate)---being from Baton Rouge will look down on all these other Louisiana schools when they start getting a little too cocky . But back to La Tech ---Dixon can run that Iowa transfer can throw and I think Holts has the bulldogs going in the right direction. Anyways La tech is the better team. This will be my first lock of the century this year. nah In all seriousness have La Tech +3.5 for 200 bucks
