Houston computer picks
Conner Weigman Under 229.5 passing yards
Projection: 222.2 passing yards
This is only a slight lean to the Under for the Covers prop projections, but this is still a pretty big number for any quarterback on the road against a normally stout Texas Tech defense.

Patrick Overmyer Over 39.5 receiving yards
Projection: 52.5 receiving yards
Patrick Overmyer was quiet in Houston's Week 2 blowout win but shouldered more of the load against Oregon State, when he caught six balls for 84 yards. His number will get called early and often as Weigman looks to keep the chains moving. This is a five-star play with the projection calling for 50+ yards.

Amare Thomas Over 68.5 receiving yards
Projection: 82.1 receiving yards
Amare Thomas leads the Cougars in targets (17), receptions (11), and yards (162) through two games, and went off for eight catches and 133 yards against Oregon State. This is another five-star play with a 14-yard gap between this prop and the 82-yard projection.

Texas Tech computer picks
Will Hammond Over 225.5 passing yards
Projection: 255.2 passing yards
With 30 yards of leeway between this 225.5-yard total and the projection, this is one of the best plays of the game. Houston's defense gave up 376 passing yards to Oregon State and will be in tough to contain Hammond tonight.

J'Koby Williams Over 64.5 rushing yards
Projection: 68.9 rushing yards
Texas Tech's RB1 has cleared this number in both games thus far, including 116 yards on 20 carries against Oregon State last weekend. This is only a slight lean to the Over, but we know for a fact Williams will get his touches.
🔥 Trade Williams rushing yards now
Coy Eakin Over 48.5 receiving yards
Projection: 54.6 receiving yards
Coy Eakin is coming off a six-catch, 79-yard performance against Oregon State in Week 2. This projection is calling for north of 50 yards, and he also torched Houston for 10 catches and 81 yards when these teams met last season.
