Texas Tech at Houston

Houston head coach Willie Fritz is in the second year of a rebuilding project with two new coordinators and so far so good as the Cougars are 4-0, including three covers. They edged Oregon State 27-24 in overtime as Conner Weigman threw for 270 yards and two TDs. The defense has been solid as the Cougars have allowed only 13.25 points per game and they have outscored opponents 125-53. Houston is 4-0-1 ATS its past five games after totaling fewer than 100 yards its previous game. Texas Tech has lost outright four of its past five Octobers games. The Red Raiders are 4-0 against a relatively weak schedule. They beat Utah 34-10 before a bye week after wins against Arkansas Pine Bluff, Kent State and Oregon State. The Red Raiders are 2-14 ATS off a conference road underdog win. Houston is 8-0 ATS as a dog of more than 11 points off a win. Grab the big points with Houston.
