Houston at Utah

The cupboard in Houston is pretty much completely bare. They tore down a once competitive team and are trying to start over, but the growing pains are evident in their 13-32 record. Going back to early December, they don't own a win vs. a team that is .500 or better, covering 21 games. They are also 0-6 ATS their last six as a dog of 8-plus points, which is usually the case vs. the good teams on their schedule. Utah is 29-15 on the season and their recent poor play is going to ensure they show up tonight. High altitude and poor teams lacking depth are not a recipe for a close game. Make the play on Utah.
