I can't take Houston after seeing how both teams did vs TCU this season. Houston hosted the Horn Frogs and were handled 36 - 13. What really scares me off Houston when discussing that game, is the Offense goes silent in late games, as they scored 0 points in the last 2 quarters and overall at home they average 7 points scored in the second half. This game should be competitive but thankfully the line isn't out of hand to bet on the better team overall and specifically defensively. Passing has been somewhat non existent for West Virginia, but partially because the run game is so dependable and rarely have we seen Houston stout against the rushing attack. People are buying the Over scenario, but I think this is a low scoring win for West Virginia who will dominate in the second half.

Official Play: West Virginia -2.5

Side Bet: Under 49.5

Hail Mary: CJ Donaldson Anytime TD
