Houston has a prime opportunity to exact revenge on Texas Tech in this rematch, as the Cougars look to avenge their loss from a few weeks ago and move one step closer to securing the conference title. Both teams have been jockeying for position at the top of the standings, but Texas Tech has recently struggled in close games, largely due to defensive lapses in critical moments.

Houston thrives when facing teams that struggle defensively, and this matchup presents an ideal scenario for them to take advantage. Texas Tech ranks just 68th in opponent field goal percentage, which could open the door for LJ Cryer to have a dominant offensive performance. The Cougars’ offense has been at its best against teams that fail to apply consistent defensive pressure, and Cryer is primed for a breakout night.

While Houston’s offense should have success, its defensive dominance remains its biggest strength. The Cougars boast the top scoring defense in the country, allowing just 57.7 points per game, and that defensive edge could prove to be the difference late in the game. Texas Tech may be able to keep it close early, but as the game progresses, Houston’s balance on both ends of the floor should allow them to pull away in the final minutes.

Additionally, Houston has been strong against the spread in true road games, covering in six of their last eight contests. Given their defensive advantage and the extra motivation of a revenge game, Houston should come out on top, securing a statement victory on the road. Take Houston ATS
