Houston Baptist vs UTSA Prediction

The UTSA Roadrunners should be big favorites for obvious reasons, but this is a lot of points. UTSA hasn’t had the easiest schedule in the world, but through 3 games is 124th in scoring offense and 126th in scoring defense. Even the Roadrunners’ season opener against the Kennesaw State Owls was a competitive game. It’s fair to say the Houston Christian Huskies will be the more motivated side, given they don’t get these chances often. UTSA hasn’t been favorites of 30 or more points since October 2022, and the Roadrunners are 1-4 ATS when favorites of 30 or more points. Give me Houston Christian and the points.
