Houston comes into the game at 4-5 and has to win two of its remaining three games to become Bowl eligible. Houston got off to a terrible start at 1-4, but they have been playing much better as they have won two in a row, and three out of their last four. Houston has a strong defense that allows just 5.1 yards per play, and will take on the #59 Arizona offense that generates 5.6 yards per play. The real disaster has been the Arizona defense ranking #108 vs. the Houston offense that ranks #119. The biggest determining factor is the huge situation on Houston. Conference road dogs to a total of 46 or fewer points are 542-416-29 ATS, and cover nearly 57% of a huge sample size of about 1000 games. Make the play on Houston.

Houston at Arizona
September 9, 2017
10:30 PM Eastern
A pair of non-conference teams that like to run the football clash in this one. Running chews up yards and keeps the clock moving. Last week Arizona threw only 13 passes in a rout of Northern Arizona. Arizona had six players finish with at least 50 yards rushing. Houston is in town with a new QB and coaching staff. They lost talented QB Greg Ward but eight starters are back on defense, including DT Ed Oliver, a freshman All-American Defensive Player of the Year. This defense was outstanding in 2016, #10 in the nation in points allowed, third against the run. Houston's offense won't be in mid-season form -- it will be in opening day form as this is their first game. Houston is on a 5-1 run UNDER the total, including 4-1 UNDER in non-conference games. That included an impressive upset of the high-octane Oklahoma offense last September, allowing 23 points -- the worst offensive showing all season by a Sooner offense that ended up second in the nation in yards and third in points. Play the UNDER.
