Tantalizing.

I just never bet against the Longhorns even with the spread just because...  But in this case my heart says no but my head says yes, especially if you can tickle it up.

I would be wary of betting on points until I actually see them in action. There's no telling how slowly the offense will run, how the line will fare, how the defense will be able to hold up and (most importantly) how the kicking game will effect the point spread. We've been spoiled in the past by a good punting and kicking unit that, for the most part, didn't lose points. This year we have a new punter AND a new kicker. One or two missed field goals can tremendously effect the point differential in the game.

I don't bet on football games but I'm with Lukus. I sure wouldn't be betting until I saw them in action. Texas should win this game by at least 30 with a heavy emphasis on "should". I don't care what you say, it's freaking North Texas State. Good lord, Texas should kick their ass all over the field.

that's a lot of points. a 31-10 win would be solid in my mind and that doesn't cover.

Too many points, but maybe they know something I don't.

North Texas lost by 24 at Georgia in 2013 (45-21).  With that being said, I believe Texas will cover the 24 b/c North Texas is starting a new QB on the road and the Mean Green are "very" undersized on the defensive front 7.

It will look dicey early, but UT should pull away in the second half due to turnovers and a running game having success vs. a wore down defense.

Texas 41 North Texas 13.

Not to mention that North Texas returns the fewest starters in D1 (9).
