Houston vs Utah Prediction

In this Houston vs Utah Prediction, Houston is coming as -16.5 road favorites. Houston has been the far better team this season with just two losses in 23 games played and are 9-1 in their last 10 games and 7-1 against the spread. On the flip side, Utah has been on a free fall with a 1-9 record in its last 10 games but 6-2 against the spread but has failed to cover the spread in its last two home games. Houston has been superior defensively, ranking second in the entire nation in points allowed and having a +17.2 point differential, so I expect them to get the job done on the road in a comfortable fashion and cover the big spread.
