The Southern Miss. travels to Houston to face Rice Owls in today's game.
Both schools do not do their best season this season, but the hosts have shown better points in this year's games. 2-6 the record of Rice and 4-3-1 ATS. He has fought several matches that were a heavy underdog against good opponents and now has a good chance of winning 3's victory after coming back after a tough defeat at Tulsa 24-28. The Owls within make about 31 points while accepting 38 and would say they rely mainly on their good aggressive operation. Big plus and the experienced coach who are on the bench.
The Southern Miss. has essentially given up the season. 0-7 this year and 2-5 ATS school goes from defeat to defeat. He has lost all of his games except one with 10 points and over with a miserable defensive function. Today he will also be deprived of the services of the two key QBs who are injured. Outside this year the South. Miss counts only defeats and accepts approximately 43 points in each match while only releasing 23 points in the attack.
The handicap that Rice has to cover does not know how the book found it (most of it in -2.5) unless they believe that a troubled team will be raised tonight. The two sets have nothing to do with each other and the favorite is clear in my eyes. Rice Owls will logically have an easy afternoon.
