    Rice -2.5?

    how can the lose to W. Michigan in their greatest game of date in their history in the NCAA? Giving less then a field goal, what does everyone think of this game, they should be able to win by equal or more than a TD

    small lean to Rice...WMU is a veteran team, but I think Rice essentially being the home team, plus having more veteran playmakers on offense could be the difference...

    This spread scares me, because Rice seems SO obvious to me.

    Yeah, I'm on Rice too. I think it's a pretty strong play. Thinking of bumping it up to 2 units.

    I'm liking western Michigan. Rice was +13 in turnover margin (lucky if you ask me) and they scored 5 defensive touchdowns off of those turnovers (to no defensive TD’s by their opponents).

    Rice simply hasn’t been able to stop mediocre or good teams from scoring a ton of points against them. Rice allowed 35 points to a mediocre Memphis offense, and the Owl allowed 40 points to a slightly worse than average Southern Miss attack, gave up 44 points to a mediocre UTEP offense. The only teams that did not score at least 35 points against Rice were teams that were considerably below average offensively (SMU, North Texas, Tulane, Army, and Marshall).
