Why Rice Will Beat Prairie View A&M
Prairie View A&M has been competitive to start the season, but they still currently sit with a 1-1 record. In the first game of the season they faced off against Texas Southern and they ended up winning 22-21. In the last game against UTRGV, Prairie View A&M scored 21 points, but the defense gave up 27 points. At the end of the first quarter they were down 17-0 and although they fought back, they still ended up falling short.
The Panthers used two different quarterbacks, and neither was all that dynamic. Cameron Peters completed 8 of his 16 passes for 64 yards. Tevin Carter completed 6 of his 10 passes for 48 yards. Only four different receivers caught passes. Jyzaiah Rockwell was the top receiver and he caught seven passes for 98 yards. In this game if they want a chance they are going to need to get out to a faster start. If it’s a slow start, this is going to be a very long game.
Why Prairie View A&M Will Beat Rice
Prairie View A&M is trying to find their starting quarterback, and I don’t think they have the answer on the roster. Both played in the last game, and both really struggled to get the offense going here. For Rice, their offense hasn’t been great to start the season, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. Rice and Prairie View A&M will maybe combine for 25 points total. These lower level games still have value, and this one has a ton of them. Back the under to cash.
