Houston vs USF Game Preview

Why USF Will Win

The Bulls keep losing, but they keep playing well enough to be competitive.

The opener against BYU and 41-3 performance against Louisville were the only two games they were truly out of it, and now they’re playing a team that plays almost every game close.

Five of Houston’s seven games have been thrillers, and this one could be a fight if USF can get the ground game going fast. It’s been able to get to 200 yards on the ground in four of the last six games. It’ll get close to that in this, but …

NFL Expert Picks, Week 8

Why Houston Will Win

The USF run defense is non-existent.

It’s giving up 5.7 yards per carry allowing 221 yards per game and doing a whole lot better against the strong passing attacks.

Houston is at its best with a balance, but it’ll be the running game that gets to eat in this. It has yet to hit 200 yards, but it should be able to pound away, allow the passing game to not take any dangerous chances, and …

What’s Going To Happen

USF can’t come up with third down stops, and that’s going to be a killer against the Cougars.

It’s Houston, so this will be more interesting than it has to be. There will be moments when things start to work with the Bull offense – USF will get its points – but the defensive front will come through with plenty of plays behind the line when it has to.

In a slight shocker, Houston will actually play a second straight game without a ton of stress.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Houston vs USF Game Preview


Why Houston Will Win

The passing game heated up when it had to last week in the thrilling win over SMU.

The rushing attack will get 150ish yards or so, but Clayton Tune is coming off a brilliant 412-yard, four touchdown day with a whole lot of big plays all while taking the offense to another level.

USF has a decent pass defense, but it’s hardly a rock. It allowed 220 yards or more in every game except the win over Temple, and it’s about to allow at least that many in this – along with a whole lot of yards on the ground.

Houston would rather work through the air, but the Bull D gave up 251 yards in the loss to East Carolina last week and 269 to Tulsa a few weeks earlier. But …

College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 10

Why USF Will Win

USF has been better.

The running game ripped through Temple two weeks go, and it followed it up with close to 200 yards against East Carolina. Keeping the chains moving is a bit of an issue, but the offensive line hasn’t been all that bad overall and it should keep the Cougars out of the backfield.

On the flip side, for all of the good things Houston has done, it doesn’t allow a whole lot of sacks, the rushing attack has to be forced a bit, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Here comes the Houston pass rush.

Yeah, the USF offensive front has been great in pass protection, but there’s about to be a problem against a Houston D line that’s great at stopping offenses from getting going.

Houston is among the best teams in the country at third down stops, USF is among the worst at converting on third downs.

Why Houston Will Win

USF is finally back on the court after missing the last month – how long will it take to get the groove back?

Before the time off, the Bulls were struggling with their outside shooting, they didn’t hit enough from the outside when they did bomb away, and they make way too many mistakes and turn it over too often.

This was a good Bull rebounding team, but Houston is a killer on the glass, especially on the offensive side. The firepower is way too much for USF to keep up.

Why USF Will Win

Before getting a fun scrimmage against Our Lady of the Lake, Houston lost at East Carolina when the threes weren’t falling and without enough happening defensively. The Pirates got hot from three, the Cougars were off, and it was an 82-73 loss.

Houston might be great on the boards, but USF is outstanding at cleaning up messes on the offensive side with double-digit rebounds on O in eight of the nine games before the time off.

By the way, the last time out, USF beat the East Carolina team that just caught Houston.

What’s Going To Happen

The Bulls are going to be fired up – and rested – as they get back on the court again, but they’re not going to be able to keep up once Houston gets on the move.

The Cougars will match the Bulls on the boards and will keep the ball moving around enough to generate a whole slew of easy baskets.

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM


Why USF Will Win

USF has been good at taking the ball away, and it’ll need to with an inconsistent offense going against a Houston team down a few key receivers and without the pop it was supposed to have this season.

The Bulls have generated seven picks in the last five games, and they have to take advantage of every opportunity with a passing game with just enough to keep the pressure on.

Houston has slowed down the mistakes after turning it over five times in the opener, but it gave away four turnovers in the last two games. If USF is +2 in turnover margin, it’s got a shot. But …

Week 11 Schedule, Predictions, Lines

Why Houston Will Win

The Bull offense simply isn’t good enough to keep things moving. The passing game might be able to come up with yards, but there aren’t a lot of downfield plays to open things up.

The offensive line is giving up too many plays in the backfield, and the defense isn’t getting to the quarterback nearly enough to make a difference. For all of the problems Houston has been having against the top teams, the pass rush has been great and the team is able to control the clock enough to own the tempo.

USF doesn’t have the style or O line to go on a slew of long marches, and …

CFN College Football Experts Picks

What’s Going To Happen

USF’s punting game is a problem, and Houston is a killer on punt and kick returns. The Cougar special teams will turn the game into bit of a blowout. After a few rough performances and three losses in the last four games, Houston will finally get to have some fun.
