I’m eying Rice in its matchup against Houston this weekend. Houston is already 0-2 on the season with losses to UNLV and Oklahoma. Houston’s QB Donovan Smith has threw for 395 yards but has three interceptions with just one touchdown. His QBR ranks below the top 100 in college football.
Meanwhile, Stacy Sneed leads Houston is rushing. But he’s added 13 carries for just 36 yards through three games. He’s ultimately averaging 2.8 yards a carry.
On the other hand, E.J. Warner is quarterback for Rice. The former Temple QB and son of Kurt Warner, hasn’t been the most accurate quarterback, either. But he still went 20-for-30 against Texas Southern and threw for two touchdowns without taking a sack.
The run game is also way better behind Dean Connors, who has added 7.9 yards a carry on 21 attempts. Therefore, we’ll back Ricde at +4 (-110) per this system.
Pick: Rice +4 (-110)
