The BYU Cougars once looked like they were a certainty for the playoffs but two losses has moved them all the way to #19, and there is little if no path for them to get in. This team has to be mentally bankrupt. They are not playing well and now for the first time all season, have no reason to be fully engaged here vs. Houston. The Cougars have a great defense that has allowed just 22 PPG on the season, at 5.1 yards per play. We have seen this BYU team struggle vs. a good defense, and I expect them to be held way down here. Road teams that have gone a collective 35 points or more UNDER the total in their last three games during the second-half of the season are 84-38 ATS. Make the play on Houston.
