Pick by FOX Sports Betting Analyst Chris Fallica:
The Cyclones put up their best offensive performance of the young season last week, running and passing for over 230 each in a 52-7 rout of Arkansas State. This was the same Arkansas State that lost 28-18 at Michigan the week before. Still, Houston’s defense hasn’t been terrible this year, and off a shutout loss at Cincinnati, I’d expect this Willie Fritz team to put up a bit more of a fight.
PICK: Houston (+14.5) to lose by fewer than 14.5 points, or win outright
