Why is University of Houston an Underdog (VS TECH).

[PorkChop]

Although the spread is 1.5, everything I read is "if houston can pull the upset," and a lot of experts are picking TECH.

Am I missing something?

tech is the better team?

Don't ask don't tell policy.......................

They dont have the complete respect they deserve?... yet

Houston has made improvements in the last 5 years, but Tech is still the better team.

Houstons at Home, ranked, better record, with a BIG WIN at Oak State, and Tech isnt the same team of the last few years...

This still doesnt seem right to me..

[ShawnVanCover]

Oak st is overrated?Tech hung with Texas?

Just an observation............Texas Tech has a larger notariety. Everyone and their brother knows what they did last year against Texas. I mean that game is still talked about today. Then last weekend they were in the game with Texas again and even though I don't have Neilson numbers I would imagine more people watched that game than Houston's game when they played oklahoma St. The average guy off the street knows Texas Tech by name recognition and I doubt if they really know much about Houston. This is a perfect game to watch the numbers and track the line movement. Not that you shouldn't always have an eye on that information but certain games will tell you much more than others way before kickoff and I'll bet this one will have some indication of which way your money should go.

I agree it should be a good game, i'm not playing it cause i can't really get a good read on it, but i still think Tech is the better team and better coaches, and not because of name recognition, but that also doesn't always mean a win either.
