The Mustangs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Bulls are 18-41-1 ATS in their last 60 Wednesday games and 6-15 ATS in their last 21 home games. The under is 4-1 in Mustangs last 5 overall. The under is 13-5 in Bulls last 18 overall. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
The South Florida Bulls continue to watch their offense come up short, and it’s why these losses and failed covers are piling up. The SMU Mustangs are far and away the more balanced team, they’re 4-2 against the spread on the road, and they win in the favorite role by an average of 12.5 points. I don’t trust USF against quality teams. Give me SMU.
