Official: SMU vs Houston Prediction

[ALEX LIFESON]

I was hoping this wouldn't be a night game; coog fans will have all day, to drink themselves into a frenzy. Biggest game of the year...give me your score. Pony Up!

Ed Oliver might be out

[Black Horseshoe]

Vegas says SMU +8

[SMU_Alum11]

Ugh, it was +5, starting to lose the betters confidence in this. I really think we can win this without it being called an upset. Watching the Temple and Tech before it, they have some offense issues. If I’m not mistaken their QB situation is worse than us.

[AusTxPony]

I saw open at Houston -8 and moving to -5 1/2. That would mean bettors moving to SMU side.

31-27 ponies, Chad has them ready to win a big road game

[Pony Boss]

38-28 SMU

[SMUer]

How many passes are we planning to throw at Courtland Sutton this game? That might make a difference.

+5 and we win 48-45
<5 and we lose 34-52

[leopold]

None if they double and triple team him all day, leaving Quinn and Proche open. That's what's GREAT about the entire receiving corps - they're deep.

We beat them last year and we are better this year and they take a step back.

I'm sorry, but the Houston defense isn't nearly as good as TCU's (and we scored 36). So I say we score in the 40s against Houston. I say they score in the upper 30s. Our defense better learn to tackle and we need to win the turnover battle. And special teams needs to be hitting on all cylinders. I'm actually not concerned about our offense. I saw what I needed against TCU. I am confident we out game plan them (Chad is better than Applewhite). It comes down to just a matter if our players are going to come out with energy and passion and take it to them and finish strong. Dallas v Houston, part 2. Pony up!

42-35 SMU

This was kinda my thinking. TCU's defense and offense are better. We score at least 30 and ponies are in good shape.

[HubbaHubba]

TCU defense is much better than theirs and U Conns offense is twice as good.

We are one of those teams now where you have to score 40 to beat us.

I don't think Houston can score 40. They have really struggled on offense.

SMU 38 - Houston 28

Houston IMO has been very unimpressive this year. D is good though but nothing better than TCU's.

45-17 SMOO. and yes I'm serious
