Rice is 2-3 while playing a demanding early-season schedule, including losses at Oregon and Tennessee. The Owls still expect to have a good season with five key players returning from last year. Tarleton State has lost seven in a row as an underdog dating to last season, and the Texans have lost 10 road games in a row. They have lost 10 of 15 overall, and the Texans lost four starters from the 2024-25 squad that went 12-20. Tarleton State has played three quality opponents on the road and lost by an average of 23 points to SMU, LSU, and Baylor. Take Rice on the moneyline.
