North Texas at Western Michigan

North Texas needed to improve significantly defensively this season, and the results are good so far as the Mean Green shut out Lamar 51-0 while yielding just 121 total yards. The offense was also clicking, as Drew Mestemaker finished with 329 passing yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. The Mean Green are 7-1 ATS in their past eight games after allowing fewer than 100 rushing yards in their previous game. Western Michigan has lost five of its past six games, including 23-6 to Michigan State last week, although the Broncos covered as a 21.5-point underdog. They're not getting that many points in this matchup, and the Broncos are 1-6 ATS following a loss, 1-4 ATS in their past five non-conference games. They managed only to gain 29 yards rushing against the Spartans. Western Michigan currently has five straight UNDERS, and North Texas is on a 4-0 UNDER run. The Broncos are 2-7 ATS in their past nine September games and 1-5 ATS overall after allowing fewer than 170 yards passing in their previous game. Take North Texas and the UNDER.
