The SMU Mustangs look to extend their winning streak to six games but could be without quarterback Preston Stone when they host the North Texas Mean Green in an AAC matchup on Friday. SMU (7-2, 5-0) has scored at least 31 points in every game during its current run, which includes a 36-31 victory at Rice last week. Stone exited that contest following a hard hit in the fourth quarter and is in concussion protocol, and his availability likely won't be known until Friday. North Texas (3-6, 1-4) suffered its third consecutive loss last Saturday, a 37-29 home setback against USTA. The Mustangs are 35-6-1 all-time versus the Mean Green and have won 12 straight meetings at home.

Kickoff at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas is set for 9 p.m. ET. The Mustangs are 19.5-point favorites in the latest SMU vs. North Texas odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 65. SMU is the -1151 favorite on the money line (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our college football odds page).

Before you make any North Texas vs. SMU picks or college football predictions, you NEED to see the predictions from SportsLine's proven computer model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Since its inception, it has generated a stunning profit of well over $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.

The model knows SMU will turn to redshirt freshman quarterback Kevin Jennings and rely on its solid ground attack if Stone is unable to face the Mean Green. Jennings has appeared in five contests this season, completing 16-of-20 pass attempts for 190 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. The Mustangs are averaging 174 yards on the ground this season and amassed 223 against Rice last week, with three different players gaining at least 55.

The model also is aware that North Texas is led by junior quarterback Chandler Rogers, who is tied with Stone and Rice's J.T. Daniels for first in the AAC with 21 touchdown tosses and ranks second with 2,445 passing yards. After throwing one in the season opener, Rogers went seven consecutive games without an interception before being picked off twice last week. Sophomore wideout Ja'Mori Maclin is second in the conference with 766 receiving yards and tied for first in the nation with 11 touchdown catches despite being held without one by UTSA for the first time this season.

Now, the model has set its sights on Friday's SMU vs. North Texas matchup. We can tell you it is leaning Over on the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in almost 60% of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college football picks!
