Five of the last seven meetings have gone UNDER, including SMU's 34-31 win in 2019 and the Mustangs have stayed UNDER four of their last five home games. Also, SMU is 8-3 UNDER its last 11 games as a home underdog. Houston went UNDER two games in a row before it exploded for 56 points against South Florida while running the ball 37 times for 319 yards. The Bulls were held scoreless in the first half before scoring three touchdowns after falling behind 42-0. Clayton Tune finished 14 of 25 for 165 yards for the Cougars and he also ran for 120 yards on 10 carries. SMU allows 30.9 points per game compared to 33.0 for the Cougars. This is a high posted total and an overreaction from their last games. Play the UNDER.
