Stephen F. Austin at SMU: Odds, betting lines and picks
Prediction
SMU 58, Stephen F. Austin 27
Money line (ML)
No line.
Against the spread (ATS)
STEPHEN F. AUSTIN (+38.5, -110) should be able to keep it within five touchdowns. As impressive as SMU -34.5 (-110) has been on offense, they’re equally disappointing on defense. They have given up 466.5 total yards per game, and 29.5 points per outing. It won’t be a close game, but SFA will hang tough for a while.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 63.5 (-110) is a good call, and there’s an outside chance SMU could take of it on their own. They did it last week, hanging 65 on North Texas, and the teams combined for 100 total points with a line of 71.5. Look for another track meet in this one.
