North Texas might be better than peopple realize. They won 9 games a year ago and can definitely match that and be a factor in the Conference USA race.
Abilene Christian is a pure warmup. This is not one of those FCS programs thats puts much fear into opponents. They are just not that far away making it a good scheduling fit.
Abilene Christian Wildcats
Abilene Christian plays in the Southland conference where they were a mediocre 5-4 a year ago. It was an improvement from 2-9 a season ago but hardly earth shattering.

One good thing is that they are returning a lot of their offense from a year ago when they averaged 30ppg. QB Luke Anthony passed for more than 3000 yards.
One thing that could provide confidence is that their coach is a winner. He won titles at D2 Northwest Missourii State. I do believe that coaching matters in these kinds of matchups.
Looking at that line it seems like the best the Wildcats might hope for is to catch North Texas looking ahead to an interesting matchup the following week at SMU.

North Texas Mean Green
I am seeing projections that have North Texas winning the CUSA West this season. Coach Seth Littrell has been doing a good job there building the program up.
Mason Fine might be the best QB in the conference and that is a really nice place to start. He has most of his offensive line back as well as his top receiver and running back from a team that led CUSA in scoring last season.
The defense was just OK a year ago and needs to be better to achieve what they want but they might not be pressed too hard in this one. In their FCS tilt last year they smothered Incarnate World 58-16.
Right now I am bullish on North Texas. They are not the best of the Group of Five but they might be the best team in the conference this season. This is a chance to get off to a good start.

This number is uninspired with that hook seemingly there just to annoy. Go with the Mean Green at home.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: North Texas -20.5
This one might be on upset alert after the first quarter which I expect to finish something like 10-10. I like the over in this one too.
Once things get going the Mean Green will pick up steam on offense. ACU will not have enough answers.
