Houston Cougars vs. Baylor Bears Betting Preview

The Bears are 13-1 in home games. Baylor is second in the Big 12 scoring 82.6 points while shooting 49.3% from the field.  Baylor beat Houston the last time they faced the Cougars but that was back in 2021.

The 34.9 rebounds per game Baylor averages rank 215th in the nation, and are 5.3 more than the 29.6 its opponents collect per contest.

Baylor has been quite good at covering games this season, going 15-9 Against The Spread, compared to Houston's pedestrian 13-12 record.  But Houston is also due for a cover, having failed to do so in all but one of their last six games.  They pushed in one of those games.

Shead scored 26 points his last game as No. 2 Houston beat No. 6 Iowa State 73-65.  Shead comes into the game against Baylor with a scoring total Over/Under well below that 26 number at 14.5.
