North Texas-Boise State Frisco Bowl Odds, Lines, Spread and Betting Preview
The final bowl matchup from Saturday features heavy favorite Boise State taking on North Texas in the Frisco Bowl.
The Mean Green fired coach Seth Littrell last week. The program has a veteran interim coach in defensive coordinator Phil Bennett, but the rest of the staff is starting to scatter for other jobs.
And remember, this was a tough matchup for the Mean Green even without the upheaval of a coaching change — the Mountain West is a stronger league than Conference USA, and Boise tends to have the best talent annually in the MWC. The Broncos allowed a league-low 4.66 yards per play.

Boise freshman quarterback Taylen Green struggled against Fresno State in the MWC championship game but is an intriguing talent — big, mobile and an improving passer. He’s accounted for 21 touchdowns passing and running despite not taking over the position until October.
BET: Boise State -10.5 (-110)
