We are close to the end of the 2022 calendar year, but the sporting activity does not stop, as there are several sports that still have events scheduled. In the United States, the NCAA Basketball season began a little more than a month ago, and there is still a lot to play for in this final stretch of the year.
The McNeese State vs Houston matchup is scheduled for midweek, and although it could be a matchup between polar opposites, that does not detract from its value as Houston is one of the teams that has been delivering good performances every week.

Betting on the McNeese State Cowboys
- Regular Season Record: 3-9
- DraftKings Spread: +35
- Moneyline: N/A
- DraftKings Over/Under: 126
The McNeese State Cowboys are currently not among the best in the Southland Conference, as after 12 games played, they have only been able to achieve three victories. Their last win came just over 10 days ago against Northern Iowa 52-49, but now they come into this game on a streak of three straight losses.
It is one of the teams with the worst record in its conference, where it is one of the teams with the most defeats. It has the second-lowest number of points scored (775) and apparently that is the main deficiency.
Betting on the Houston Cougars
- Regular Season Record: 11-1
- DraftKings Spread: -35
- Moneyline: N/A
- DraftKings Over/Under: 126
It should be no easy task to have the pressure of being considered one of the heavy favorites in the 2022-23 college basketball season, but the Houston Cougars have been doing just fine. Despite losing last week by a 71-65 loss to Alabama, the Texans look like one of the strongest teams of the year.
The Cougars currently lead the American Athletic Conference with 11 wins and just one loss. They have done a good job and are the team with the fewest points allowed in their zone (604), and also come into this game with two consecutive victories.
JefeBet Prediction
Houston quickly got back to winning ways, and that should give them plenty of confidence to keep on winning in their next games. Here, they face a lower level opponent who is unlikely to give him a fight. The stats indicate that the Cougars should win this matchup with ease.
Prediction: Houston Cougars win by 30 points.
