UTEP is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 4-15-2 ATS in their last 21 November games. The under is 7-2 in UTEP’s last 9 games. Rice is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games. The over is 6-0 in Rice’s last 6 home games. The over is 4-1 in these two team's last 5 head-to-head meetings.

Both of these teams are coming off of a loss, but Rice was blown out by a bad Charlotte team in their last game. UTEP has had issues scoring this season and is only averaging 21 points per game, while Rice has had issues on defense and is allowing 33 points per game. I like the over in this game because I think UTEP will be able to score on this Rice defense.
