Louisiana Tech vs. North Texas Odds
Jonathan Willis

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs will be on the field for the first time in over a month this Thursday evening. They have had four straight games either postponed or canceled due to COVID-19, including their game with the North Texas Mean Green that was originally supposed to be played on Nov. 7. We’ll see if the boys from Ruston are a little rusty when they head to Denton to face North Texas on Thursday.

Week 14 Matchup: Conference USA
Venue: Apogee Stadium
Location: Denton, Texas
Date: Thursday, Dec. 3, 2020
Time: 6:00 p.m. ET
TV: CBSSN

Louisiana Tech-North Texas Betting Odds

Spread: LA Tech -1.5
Money-Line: LA Tech -121 North Texas +100
Total: 66

How to Handicap Louisiana Tech-North Texas

Louisiana Tech secured its biggest win of the season in its last game. The Bulldogs rallied from a two-touchdown deficit to beat UAB in overtime on Halloween, picking up the outright win as a +12-point underdog. It was their first cover since a 66-38 victory over Houston Baptist on September 26, as Louisiana Tech had failed to cover in four straight games prior to the victory over the Blazers.

The Mean Green were an offensive juggernaut before they had a month’s worth of games cancelled or postponed by COVID. They didn’t play from mid-October to late November though, and they haven’t been the same on that side of the ball since that point. In their first five games, North Texas scored an average of 39.2 PPG.

The Mean Green were only able to put up 27 points against Rice and 17 points against UTSA. Unsurprisingly, four of their first five games went over the total, but the last two games have fallen short.

Betting Analysis – Louisiana Tech Bulldogs

2020: 4-3 SU, 3-4 ATS, 4-3 O/U

Skip Holtz has been Mr. Consistent during his time at Louisiana Tech. He has taken the Bulldogs to six straight bowl games, and they have won all six of those postseason appearances. However, the Conference USA title has been elusive for this program.

Louisiana Tech has also used two quarterbacks for much of the season. Senior Luke Anthony has been the prototypical drop-back passer of the two. He is completing 62.5% of his passes for 6.9 YPA with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions.

Sophomore Aaron Allen saw sporadic action in Louisiana Tech’s first six games, but he spurred the comeback win over UAB. He completed 18 of 26 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns in the game, so he seems likely to get the start this week against North Texas. He is completing almost 70% of his passes, yet he doesn’t have the same accuracy on his deep balls as Anthony.

This ground game has provided no help for either quarterback. The Bulldogs are averaging just 2.4 YPC and 77 YPG, and this offense is averaging under 300 YPC as a whole. Israel Tucker will be the primary ball carrier now that Justin Henderson has announced his departure from the school. Left tackle Donavaughn Campbell and wide receiver Adrian Hardy also told Holtz that they were leaving the team last week.

The Bulldogs haven’t been great on defense, allowing 31.3 PPG and 407.3 YPG. Louisiana Tech hasn’t been able to get off the field on third or fourth down, ranking outside the top 80 in those metrics. This team has just ten sacks on the season, but the Bulldogs do have eight interceptions.

Betting Analysis - North Texas Mean Green

2020: 3-4 S/U, 3-4 ATS, 4-3 O/U

North Texas has listed Jason Bean and Austin Aune as co-starters at quarterback headed into the game on Thursday night. Bean hasn’t seen as much time as Aune, but he is more of a dual-threat option. Bean has completed 52.6% of his passes for 8.3 YPA with nine touchdowns and three interceptions. Additionally, he has run for 11.2 YPC and five touchdowns before sack yardage is accounted for, so there’s no denying his explosiveness.

Aune is completing 54.5% of his passes for 8.6 YPA with eight touchdowns and four attempts. He has twice as many pass attempts as Bean, but he is not a mobile threat. That led to Bean getting the start against Rice two weeks ago, but Aune once again took over after Bean was 5-14 for 102 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions against UTSA last week.

The ground game has been superb for the Mean Green this season. Seth Littrell redesigned the offense after Mason Fine’s graduation, and they are running the ball on most plays in 2020. North Texas is in the top 20 in rushing, averaging 5.5 YPC and 228 YPG, led by Deandre Torrey and Oscar Adaway III. Torrey is averaging 6.1 YPC, while Adaway is picking up 7.3 YPC.

Jaelon Darden has been the first, second, and third option in the passing game. Darden has 58 receptions for 882 yards and 12 touchdowns, and First Team All-Conference USA honors are in his future. No other player has more than 20 receptions. Deonte Simpson is the most prolific of the big play threats, averaging 20.3 YPR.

This defense has been one of the worst in the nation. North Texas is allowing 42.7 PPG and 529.7 YPG through seven games. The front seven is dreadful, surrendering 6.0 YPC and 269.8 YPG, while the pass defense isn’t much better at 8.9 YPA. The Mean Green have only recorded five turnovers on the year too.

Head-to-Head

North Texas beat Louisiana Tech in the first four games between these schools in the late 1970s. They didn’t play again until they were both members of the Sun Belt, and the Bulldogs won both of those games in 2005 and 2006. The next time they played was in 2013, and Louisiana Tech has won five of seven games with both teams in CUSA.

Last Meeting

The Mean Green had no success moving the ball against the Bulldogs last year. Louisiana Tech held a 45-3 lead with under 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and picked up a 52-17 victory. The Bulldogs had over 540 yards of offense in the dominant victory..

Notable Betting Trends

-- Louisiana Tech has gone UNDER the point total in five of its last six road games.

-- North Texas has failed to cover the spread in 11 of its last 12 games when facing a school with a winning record.

-- Louisiana Tech has covered the spread in five of its last six games when facing North Texas.

Air Force vs. Utah State Odds
Jonathan Willis

We’ve only seen the Air Force Falcons on the field one time since their loss to Boise State on Halloween. They blasted outmatched New Mexico two weeks ago, but they weren’t able to take on Colorado State last week due to COVID.

Fortunately, it looks like the Falcons are good to go this week against the Utah State Aggies.

Week 14 Matchup: Mountain West Conference
Venue: Maverik Stadium
Location: Logan, Utah
Date: Thursday, Dec. 3, 2020
Time: 9:30 p.m. ET
TV: CBSSN

Air Force-Utah State Betting Odds

Spread: Air Force -10.5
Money-Line: Air Force -350, Utah State +280
Total: 50.5

How to Handicap Air Force-Utah State

The Aggies picked up their first victory of the season last week against New Mexico. Utah State had lost its first four games, and the Aggies failed to cover in any of those losses. They were unable to score more than 16 points in any of those four defeats, so Utah State’s closest loss was a 19-point defeat at the hands of Fresno State.

Utah State trailed New Mexico 13-6 at halftime, but the Aggies turned it on in the first 10 minutes of the second half with four straight touchdowns to take a commanding lead. Andrew Peasley closed the door on a 62-yard touchdown run that was the final score in a 41-27 victory for the six-point underdog Aggies.

Air Force has been able to run the ball effectively in three of its four games. The Falcons picked up big chunks of yards against Navy, Boise State, and New Mexico, easily winning and covering the number against the Midshipmen and the Lobos. The defense has been lights out in three games, but the Broncos gashed the Falcons.

Betting Analysis – Air Force Falcons

2020: 2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS, 1-3 O/U

Troy Calhoun led Air Force to an 11-2 record last season. That led to high expectations going into the offseason, but the Falcons are unlikely to play for the MWC title after losses to Boise State and San Jose State.

The Falcons have the most overpowering run game in the country. Air Force is averaging 5.8 YPC and 336.5 YPG on the ground, as their hybrid triple option continues to befuddle opponents. No player has carried the ball more than 40 times, but six different players have 20 or more carries as this offense constantly rotates players in and out to keep their legs fresh.

Unlike Army and Navy, Air Force typically has some success in the passing game. That’s the case this year too with Haaziq Daniels under center. Daniels is completing 54.8 percent of his passes for 6.4 YPA with a touchdown. He has also run for 5.0 YPC.

Tight end Kyle Patterson and wide receiver Brandon Lewis have combined to catch 17 of Air Force’s 21 completed passes on the year. Patterson has nine receptions for 140 yards, while Lewis has eight catches for 68 yards.

This defense has done a very good job of stopping the run. Opponents are averaging 3.6 YPC and 106.8 YPG on the ground against Air Force. However, the pass defense has been another story. The Falcons are giving up 8.1 YPA through the air, and good quarterbacks can take advantage of these defensive backs.

Betting Analysis - Utah State Aggies

2020: 1-4 S/U, 1-4 ATS, 3-2 O/U

Gary Andersen was fired after Utah State’s first three games of the 2020 season. He had a lot of success with the Aggies from 2009 to 2012, but he could never get it going in his return to Logan. Co-defensive coordinator Frank Maile is the interim head coach.

Maile isn’t the only new face of the program. Starting quarterback Jason Shelley was dismissed after reports that he hit another player in the locker room after a loss. That led to Peasley getting his first start against New Mexico. Peasley shined by completing 14 of 21 passes for 239 yards with three touchdowns, and he ran the ball 11 times for 118 yards and a score.

Jaylen Warren was the team’s leading rusher, averaging 6.5 YPC, but he entered the transfer portal on Sunday. That will make Devonta’e Henry-Cole the No. 1 running back for the last few games of the season. Henry-Cole is averaging 4.4 YPC, and he has carried the ball 21 times for 126 yards in Utah State’s last two games.

Leading receiver Deven Thompkins recently entered the transfer portal too, so Peasley will look to Justin McGriff as his primary option. McGriff is a mismatch at 6’6, and he had four receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown last week.

The defense has lost some top players too. Standout safety Troy Lefeged and linebackers Maika Magalei and Cash Gilliam have also decided to leave the program. Utah State is allowing 35.2 PPG and 490.2 YPG, ranking outside the top 100 in both categories.

Head-to-Head

These schools only met one time before Utah State joined the Mountain West in 2013. Air Force beat Utah State 38-13 in 1969, and it took over four decades before these programs faced off again.

The Aggies won the first two meetings in 2013 and 2014, but the Falcons have won four of the last five games in this series.

Last Meeting

Air Force completely manhandled Utah State last year. Jordan Love had one of the worst games of his career, completing just 14 of 23 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown in a 30-7 Air Force victory. The Falcons had 448 yards and four touchdowns on the ground, while the Aggies could only muster 128 total yards. Utah State didn’t commit a single penalty though, so that’s something rather unique.

Notable Betting Trends

-- The Falcons have not covered in any of their last five Thursday night games.

-- Utah State is 1-6 ATS in its last seven games as a home underdog.

-- The favorite has covered the number in each of the last four games.
