Houston vs Utah Prediction
Houston has been a buzzsaw for much of the season, has proven itself on the road, and is a profitable 14-9 ATS. I can understand laying the points. However, Salt Lake City is not an easy place to play, and this will be back-to-back road games for the Cougars. Utah has also covered 6 of its last 8 games, hanging around with teams like Kansas, BYU, Kansas State, and Texas Tech, and upsetting TCU. It’s not always pretty, but Utah competes. Expect a packed house that provides an extra spark for the Utes. I’ll grab the points.
