Houston at SMU 12/5/20 - NCAA Football Picks & Predictions

Houston is coming to this game after getting a win in their last game over USF. The final score in the game for the Cougars ended up being a 56-21 win and looked very impressive for the Cougars. The Houston team on the year have posted a 3-3 record on the year overall.

When it comes to finding the scoring the Cougars have managed to get a total of 33.2 points per game. The offense has thrown the ball for 268 yards a game and ran the ball for only 158 yards  a game. The defense for Houston has allowed 33 points per game, but the defense has given up 244 yards per game in the air and 191 yards per game on the ground.

SMU went from being a ranked team to losing 2 straight game. The last loss for the Mustangs was a 52-38 loss to East Carolina. The loss showed that the SMU defense has started to struggle quite a bit on the year and has not looked that good at all lately.

The offense for SMU has been able to get 38.6 points a game on the year. The passing offense has ended up getting 318 yards a game in the air and a total of 177 yards a game on the ground. Defensively the SMU team has allowed 30.9 points per game to be scored. The defense has given up 242 yards a game in the air and 180 yards per game on the ground.

 

Houston is coming to the game here with the worse scoring defense when compared head to head. However, looking at the last game and it is easy to see the Cougars defense has started to struggle lately. The defense allowed a very weak offensive minded team in East Carolina to put in 52 points against them. Look for the Houston offense to do just as good against the struggling and sliding SMU team in this game here. Final Score Prediction, Houston Cougars win and cover ATS 42-21.
