These two faced one common opponent, North Texas.
SMU won 54-32 in a game that was dead even in total yardage. NT had 3 turnovers in the loss but was able to pass for over 400 yards.
LT was beat by NT 24-23 in a gme where NT also passed for over 400 yards. LT was likely looking ahead in that game with Fla Atl on deck.
I feel that LT played tougher bowl caliber teams and could win this. Also, LT has the better defense, and that should be the advantage.
LT +4.5
