The line on this game has risen sharply from SMU -1.5 to -3.5.   We are getting a number of 1.85 so this one mostly opened on the money and was now a 1.5 overlay.  The overlays in this line range are 3-1 for the dog.

Houston can still be in the championship picture with a win. The Cougars (5-3, 3-1 AAC) and Mustangs (4-4, 2-2) each come into this game having won their last.   Both teams have 3-5 Against The Spread.

"This is huge game -- we know it's a big game, they know it's a big game," Houston coach Dana Holgorsen said. "Throw the records out -- it's gonna be hard. It'll be tough. We're all playing for a lot. We've got to prepare better this week than we did last week."
