Houston at SMU

Last place Houston is hungry for a win. They are 0-7 in the conference but not playing as bad as you might think, dropping three of the last five by 5, 3 and 1 point -- one in overtime. They were a +15 dog the last game and covered against Cincinnati. The Cougars are 5-2-1 ATS following a spread win. SMU is a huge favorite but not an explosive offensive team, 127th in the nation in scoring while tallying 70, 60, 77 and 66 points its last four games. The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings, so grab the big dog in this defensive duel. Play Houston.
