The Houston Cougars are 5-0 this season and they are coming off of a blowout win over Murray State. Houston is averaging 90.8 points and they are shooting 52.4 percent from the floor while defensively they are allowing 65.6 points and their opponents are shooting 41.7 percent. Rob Gray Jr. leads the Cougars averaging 18.4 points per game.

All of Houston’s wins have come by double digits.
Rhode Island is 7-1 against the spread following a game that they covered the point spread, 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games, and 0-5 against the spread against a team with a winning record. Houston is 4-0 against the spread in their last four road games, 5-0 against the spread in their last five non-conference games, and 6-1 against the spread against the A-10.
This one looks like it could be a war and both of these teams play good enough defense that I like the under. My stronger play is the winning team against the spread and I will post that in the Premium Area.
Under 144.5
