Houston at Rice

The Houston Cougars have had some tough breaks of late falling on the road to the Big-12's Iowa St in overtime and they dropped their game before that to Texas San Antonio by a single point on the road again. That loss is not as bad as it looks as UT San Antonio can play and stands at 10-3. The Cougars other losses have come against some very good teams and they were in all of them. The Owls have a nifty 6-2 mark at home, but have yet to be tested the way they will here, aside from Texas who blew them off the floor. Owls just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 as dog will have an angry Houston team to deal with tonight. I'll go with the Cougars here.
