Houston vs BYU Prediction
In this Houston vs BYU Prediction, Houston is coming as -1 road favorites. Houston has been the better team this season and have been in excellent form lately, with a 9-1 record in their last 10 games and 6-1 against the spread. On the other hand, BYU is coming off three straight defeats and has been struggling mightily against the spread, as they have failed to cover their last seven games. Houston has the 7th-best defense in the entire nation and give both teams’ recent form, I expect them to get away with the road win today. Take Houston on the moneyline in this one.
