Betting Trend: The over is 6-1 in BYU's last seven games (+4.90 Units / 64% ROI).

Neither team has dominated the time of possession this season, and while I feel confident that BYU will crush Houston, I don't expect the home team to take it safe with long, clock-draining drives. The Cougars will be out for revenge after consecutive upset losses and a huge offensive showing will help land them a better bowl game. While the under has been the easy play in Houston games this season, the visitors should have a few tricks up their sleeves with a new offensive coordinator, as well.

This game doesn't project to be very high-scoring, but with the total set at just 41 points, I see value in a bet on the over!
