Injury Report

Neither team enters this game riding high, and injuries are part of the story. North Texas quarterback Chandler Morris has been inconsistent and is still dealing with some offensive line issues, making it difficult for him to stay protected and execute the offense. Meanwhile, Wyoming’s defense, which was once a reliable unit, has struggled this season, and injuries across the board have only compounded those issues. However, no major player injuries have been reported that significantly alter the betting landscape for this game.

In-Depth Game Analysis

This game offers an interesting matchup between two teams with contrasting styles. Wyoming, traditionally known for strong defense and a slow-paced offensive scheme, has struggled this season on both sides of the ball. North Texas, on the other hand, is an offensive-minded team but has one of the worst defenses in the country. Let’s break down each side of the ball.

Wyoming’s Offense vs. North Texas’s Defense

Wyoming’s offense has been a disaster this season, ranking 129th in EPA per play margin, 113th in offensive efficiency, and 125th on defense. Quarterback Andrew Peasley has been inaccurate, and the wide receiver corps has done little to help, with numerous drops and poorly run routes. Despite their struggles, this could be the week Wyoming finds its rhythm against North Texas’s porous defense.

The Mean Green rank 124th in the nation in EPA per play allowed and 119th in EPA per dropback. This could give Wyoming a chance to establish some offensive identity. If there’s a game for Wyoming’s passing attack to find some success, it’s this one. North Texas has struggled to stop anyone this season, allowing over 7 yards per play against South Alabama and Texas Tech.

The key for Wyoming will be to limit mistakes, such as turnovers and penalties, and take advantage of the defensive gaps that North Texas leaves open. If Peasley can find some consistency, the Cowboys have a shot to put up points.

North Texas’s Offense vs. Wyoming’s Defense

North Texas’s offense has shown flashes of explosiveness but remains inconsistent. Chandler Morris, the Mean Green’s quarterback, has thrown multiple interceptions in recent games, including a poor showing against Texas Tech. However, he also has the ability to hit big plays, both for his own team and the opposing defense.

Wyoming’s defense, once considered the team’s strong suit, has been abysmal this year. They’re allowing 6.8 yards per play and are ranked 125th in defensive EPA. Against Arizona State and BYU, they gave up big plays repeatedly, and this trend is likely to continue unless they make significant adjustments.

North Texas should be able to move the ball easily against Wyoming, especially with the Cowboys’ secondary struggling. Morris’s big-play ability combined with Wyoming’s inability to stop explosive offenses suggests that North Texas will score frequently, possibly leading to a high-scoring game.

Predictions & Picks

This game is shaping up to be a battle between two struggling teams. Wyoming’s offense has been a disaster, but North Texas’s defense has been even worse. The Cowboys have a chance to put up points against a weak defense, while the Mean Green should have no problem scoring against Wyoming’s declining defense.

Prediction:
North Texas should come out on top, but expect Wyoming to cover the spread. This game has the potential to be high-scoring, given the weaknesses on both defenses. Look for North Texas to win a shootout, but Wyoming to keep it close enough to cover the 9-point spread.

Pick:
Wyoming +9, with a lean toward the over 56. The Cowboys should be able to keep it within a touchdown, and both teams could easily surpass the total, making the over a strong play.
