Rice at Houston

The beat goes on for Houston. This is a team that is unbeaten and has made their way up to No. 17 in the BCS standings, scoring at will in the process. They also have an easy schedule the rest of the way out, where they will be favored in every game. So they stand a good chance to finish the regular season unbeaten and in the Top 10. They have won 18 straight at home with Keenum at QB who will finish his career with all the passing records as a QB. He has thrown for 23 TD passes and just two INTs this season. The Rice QB, McHargue, has just eight TDs all season. To put that in perspective, Keenum has nine in the last two games alone. Houston isn't just a passing team as they have scored 20 times on the ground, which is five more than the Rice’s team total TDs overall. Houston has scored 38+ in all home games with Keenum at QB against non-BCS conference teams, and they are 13-1 ATS in his last 14 here. Rice’s defense ranks No. 115 out of 120. Rice is 4-14 ATS in their last eighteen games as an underdog of 21.5 to 31 points and they have posted a 9-21 ATS mark in their last 30 road games vs. winning teams. That includes a 1-10 ATS record vs. great offensive teams like Houston (those averaging 450+ yards per game). This one goes to Houston easily.
