From the booth

The model favored HOU to win, and the call landed.

Houston's got this one locked down at 99 percent, and honestly, when you look at the numbers it makes all the sense in the world. The Cougars are getting a massive 51.5 point spread courtesy of Vegas, they've got the Elo rating advantage, and they've been rolling in their last five games compared to Southern. This is about as lopsided as college football gets on a Saturday, so unless something truly bizarre happens, we're looking at a Houston blowout from start to finish.
