Over 72 points. Houston is going to score 60 themselves It's just a matter of how many points they let Rice score UH has a shitty ass defense

dont say rivalry games dont end in blow outs. kansas state went into kansas and won by 40+. if it was at rice maybe you could say that but its not. houston wins this won 66-21

Either way I think Rice scores at least 24 against the Coogs non-defense.... so Houston has to score 56 just for a push (-28) which gives me the over and no less than a split....

I'll be back before game time.  SHARP

 

I  HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU SHARP..... O/U WENT DOWN TO 27.5...PEOPLE THINK NUMBER TOO HIGH... I THINK OVER AND RICE TO SCORE 21+...BACK DOOR COVER....HOUSTON  WITH A LOT  OF HYPE ON QB.......OVERS AND THE POINTS..

Also playing Rice Team Total over 21.5

Final Plays:
Rice +27.5
Rice TT Over 21.5

Thanks for the kind words guys..
I think that Rice will cover for several reasons.. One, Houston's defense.. Yes their offense is good, but to cover a 4 TD spread you need some kind of defense.. Two, I think everyone saw the score from their last game.. Houston put 60+ points up on Marshall and people think that they'll do it again.. Playing a 3-3-5 like Rice has is different then playing a 3-4 or 4-3 like most teams play, especially on a short week..

BigD.. BoL with your total bro, hopefully we both end up winners

The QB's ratio to TDs vs. INTs is nuts and is almost unheard of right now in the season. Houston covers by at least 24. I'm just hoping the FG turns into a TD instead. For all I know, it could be 54-14 or 54-10. Homefield speaks to me because it's Texas Football. Homefield is always huge in Texas.

BOL everyone:

My takes:
Hou -27.5
Miami -13.5, Under 49

The Longhorns would contradict your statement about Texas' teams and home field advantage.  But I get your reasoning.  Unfortunately, I think you're falling into a trap.  Although, Keenum's numbers are crazy-sick, don't you think the oddsmakers know this too?  If we capped this game purely on factors like that, then I'd be all over Houston.  But I think the situation calls for reverse reasoning.  Just my take.  Hope you win, though.  I won't complain if I lose this one, only because I'm not forcing this play.  Gud luck.

houston will let this one slide. They will win but only by 20 maximum. Rice will be able to put some points on the suckie Houston Defense.
 HOUSTON 50 RICE 30


RICE +27.5
OVER 71.5

Winds NW 10- 20mph  50% chance of rain at the start of the game... 35% as the night goes on... but on the radar doesn't look like much rain.... and right now no rain 76... we have a cold front moving in....

I'm going to play:   Rice +28 and Under 38 1st Half and Rice Team Total Over 21.5 (Oahu - that one makes alot of sense)

the one factor that kills the under play...........turnovers....interception and fumble reuturned for touchdowns

I see mother nature tried to screw us but now that isn't going to work! Over half way to the Cover here for all Cougar backers in this game!

Rice is about as good as East Carolina is except they were not spotted 17 points. . .

If this would have been played at Reliant Stadium like next years game, the Houston Cover would have long been established. . .
