From the booth

The model favored UNT to win, and the call landed.

North Texas comes in as an absolutely massive favorite here, sitting at 99 percent to win this one. The Mean Green have got everything stacked in their favor: the Vegas spread's got 'em by 38 and a half, the betting market's backing them all the way, and they've got the superior talent level with that Elo rating advantage. Houston Christian's gonna need the upset special to pull this off, but this one looks like it's North Texas's game to lose from the opening kickoff.
