Temple Owls vs North Texas Mean Green Prediction, Odds and Picks for Friday, 11/28/25

There will still be a lot to sort out in the AAC when the North Texas Mean Green host the Temple Owls on Friday. Three teams have only a single loss in this conference—Tulane, Navy, and North Texas—and Navy plays on Thanksgiving Day. The tiebreakers are messy here if all 3 remained tied, but winning is the key thing. Temple, of course, is still in the way, trying to get their 6^th win and find their way to a bowl. North Texas is not losing this game; the question is whether they can win by 20. I think they can, and I think you have to play it that way if you are betting this game at all. Give me the Mean Green -19.5.

Temple is not a good football team, first and foremost. They have lost 3 in a row down the stretch, including getting smoked by Tulane and East Carolina, teams at the top of the conference. It is likely that North Texas will do the same, especially since North Texas is the best offensive team of the bunch. The Mean Green have hung 50+ in 4 of their last 5 games. Temple is surprisingly good against the pass, but I don’t think that matters much against a team as prolific as UNT. North Texas has a lot at stake, and I look for them to put this game away early. Give me the Mean Green to cover.

Temple vs North Texas Prediction: North Texas -19.5 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
