    Seems to easy. I just can't see any aspect Houston stays in this passed Kickoff.

    Only thing I can see happening is BYU starting sluggish after smacking Texas last week.

      This was a really tight game last season. If memory serves me right, Houston was getting like 8-10 points and had the lead late in the game; it may have went into O.T. I understand it is 1 year later and being played at a different venue, but... I'll be playing BYU or nothing but for some reason I feel the need to back off of this one.

          I saw that game, but this year Houston isn't impressing at all. Houston played Grambling last and Houston QB O'korn was not impressive from stat line. Something up in Houston and don't wanna bet against them when they figure it out.

            I can make a case for Houston:

            1. BYU can stop the run. They beat two running teams in UConn and Texas. UConn is horrible and Texas without Ash couldn't throw and BYU knew it. But can BYU stop Houston's passing attack?

            2. BYU could be reading their press about how it could reach the playoff because of its schedule. Maybe they get cocky and overlook Houston.

            3. The Houston loss to UTSA wasn't as bad as it sounds as they had 6 turnovers and the game got out of hand.

            4. Last year's BYU - Houston game was very close.

            5. It's a Thursday and crazy sh*t happens on Thursdays.

              I'm on BYU. Houston isn't going to be the scoring machine they were last year.

                    Houston +24.5 and Indiana -1.5 in a teaser. I also got some Houston +10.5 (+250) on Bovada. I think the speed of the Texas kids will keep them in the game tonite

                    Of course the BYU guys are 24-25 years old after they come back to school after their cult recruiting trips

                        Bovada allows you to buy the spread down like that for underdogs?

                              Houston's kicker needs a punch in the head. Now my first half over is just a push!

                                  are you penetrating kidding me byu. REALLY? a penetrating int and fumble within 2 minutes. Bronco mendenhall is a penetrating moron. 25 sec left in the half take a god damn knee to avoid costly mistakes.

                                  /rant.

                                  we've all got that 1 friend who anytime they ask about our bets and we tell them they say " oh bro youre good its a lock" and then 2 turnovers happen.

                                  screwed by the steelers and byu.......

                                                        I took Houston, but man we got lucky. I'll be looking for spots to back BYU in future, even though their schedule is garbage.

                                                          why?? It was obvious BYU was overinflated. They had been lucky with turnovers thru 2 games and it finally came back on them. The YPP stat wasn't that lopsided. BYU was around 5.5, while Houston was at around 5 even. A 0.5 yard margin won't cover a 17 point spread without a lot of help (turnovers, bad on 3rd down, etc)

                                                            excuse me, Houston had been UNLUCKY thru 2 games. Typed that wrong.
