4* Free Week 5 NCAA Betting Prediction: Houston +10.0
Houston’s pass defense was able to contain West Virginia’s passing attack in their recent game. Even as 10.0-point underdogs on their away turf, I believe they have what it takes to cover against Texas Tech.
The total has gone OVER in 8 of Houston’s last 9 games on the road, and we’ve seen the OVER hit in 13 of Houston’s last 20 games.
My model has this one at 53 points total, so play the OVER 51.5.
