Rice scored 23 points in two games against Louisiana-Lafayette and Houston. They were double-digit underdogs in both, though the defense led the way in a 14-12 win at Louisiana-Lafayette as a +10 dog. Rice is on an 11-8 run UNDER the total. That included a 28-7 victory over Charlotte two years ago, and a 21-20 loss last year, both meetings sailing UNDER. Rebuilding Charlotte (2-1 UNDER) has a new coach working in a new offense. They have no running game, averaging 2.8 yards per carry. They scored a total of 14 points in losses to North Carolina and Appalachian State. Take Rice/Charlotte UNDER the total.

Charlotte at Rice

September 28, 2024

7:00 PM Eastern

Both teams are 1-3, but Rice has looked worse against an easier schedule than Charlotte has faced. The Owls own a blowout win over Texas Southern, but have been outscored 104-35 their other three games, including a 37-14 rout by Army last week. Rice QB E.J. Warner threw two TD passes, but also was picked off twice and the Owls were outgained 408-297 and rushed for only 41 net yards. Charlotte couldn't get anything going against Indiana and Trexler Ivey threw for only 119 yards and a TD. Rice is 0-5 ATS its past five games after allowing fewer than 170 passing yards its previous game. The 49ers have covered six of their past eight road Saturday games. Ivey was off his game against the Hoosiers, but he still has a 162.4 QB rating this season with three TD passes. Rice has not shown it should be laying this many points. Take Charlotte.

Charlotte at Rice

October 29, 2022

2:00 PM Eastern

It has already been a long season for Charlotte who enters this game at a woeful 1-7. There is a glimmer of improvement however as the 49er's defense has gotten somewhat better. They have held each of their last two opponents to the lowest amount of points of any game they have previously played all season. Rice is not a big offensive team in terms of scoring. They average just 26.3 PPG against FBS opponents, and they prefer to run the ball which eats up the clock. Rice in their wins has run the ball 39 times a game, and taking on a poor Charlotte team I think they will be well into the 40s in this one. I like this one UNDER the total.
