Betting on the Houston Cougars

- Over/Under: 63.5.
The Houston Cougars, ranked #25 in college football standings, dropped to that position despite their win in Week 1 against the UTSA Roadrunners by 37-35. This might be understandable when you consider that the team had to decide their victory in three overtime periods , being tied 24-24 after the first four quarters.
That game saw them come back from a 21-7 deficit in the final quarter, and they were also outgained by 441 total yards to 346 once the game ended, so there is work to be done if they want to fight for big things this season.
Betting on the Texas Tech Red Raiders
- Regular Season Record: 1-0.
- Spread: -3.
- Moneyline: -149.
- Over/Under: 63.5.
Texas Tech earned respect for its home field in the first game of the NCAAF season, defeating Murray State 63-10, in a match that they dominated from start to finish. They scored a touchdown in each quarter and outscored their opponents by 29 first downs to 10.
Although this time they will be facing a superior opponent, they will be hoping that this victory has served to create momentum, and, above all, that their offense can perform at a similar level in this match to try to get the victory.
JefeBet Prediction
The Houston Cougars’ defense showed weaknesses in their first game of the season, which could be easily exploited by the Red Raiders, who will be playing at home again and who did just that in their Week 1 game.
However, we don’t think Texas Tech’s defense will be able to completely nullify their opponent like they did last week, which could lead to the game ending with quite a few points on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Over 63.5.
