UNLV vs. North Texas Odds & Betting Predictions - September 12, 2026

The travel spot is why this is below 6. That’s where I’d have it in a normal situation that doesnt include back to back travel spots that involve going to Hawaii. But I trust Dan Mullen as a coach to know he’ll have his team focused and ready to go. It helps that they should be able to just run the football. Windy conditions necessitated that last week out in the Pacific, and they ran it 43 times for 248 yards and three touchdowns. What happens when you cut down on dropbacks for Jackson Arnold? fewer sacks. he only took one after taking 6 in the season opener. Speaking of season openers, some optimism for UNT after Morris/Mestmaker split town on offense. Tayven Jackson played well given the opponent. And the running game moved people, 152 on the ground against IU is nothing to sneeze at. But the pass defense was just awful. 14.4 yards per attempt for Hoover who was playing through a busted up face, bleeding like a stuffed pig. Didn’t matter, 13/16, 231, 4 TDs. They slowed the run but at a cost. And that’s where I think UNLV kills them here. Jet Thomas, home run hitter at RB. Kayden McGee looks good in Year 2, popping big plays. UNT is sitting at 126th nationally after week 1 in coverage per PFF, and I think Dan Mullen can scheme up some big plays here.

At Bet365; UNLV off Hawai’i travel. UNT had more total yards than Indiana
