The Myrtle Beach Bowl
North Texas vs Appalachian State -21.5 O/U 62
This is certainly more of a home game for Appalachian State being 275 miles away compared to well over 1000 miles. I am sure that North Texas is happy to make a bowl game after such a strange year but I think Appalachian state will be motivated here as well. The Kids on both sides will probably party at Myrtle beach so no downgrade there. My power rating has this game App State -23.5 with the 1 point for home field advantage. North Texas plays very fast at 19.7 seconds per play and App State plays a little slower at 27.4 second per play. Sometimes the North Texas can put up some points so I don’t love laying 19.5. What I like much better is the App state team total over 41.5. North Texas plays fast and loses fast. I think App state runs right over them and gets margin for Senior Zac Thomas who might declare for the NFL draft.
App State team total over 43 – 2 star premium shared play
