SMU Mustangs vs #14 Houston Cougars. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #14 Houston Cougars. SMU’s best win of the season came in an 85-83 triumph over Houston earlier this season, but this is a club that is only 6-4 on the road this season, after falling by a combined 22 points to Wichita State and Temple on the road.

Houston is 13-1 at home, and I believe their defense, which stands 8th in scoring defense and first in defensive FG percent, will have enough success slowing down the SMU attack to cover this double-digit spread. The #14 Houston Cougars will win to a predicted score of 74-63
