Prediction
This is a great Big 12 battle on Monday, as the Cougars inch closer to a second consecutive regular season conference title. Houston has only lost one conference game this season and that was at home to this Texas Tech team. I expect some payback for that defeat. The Red Raiders are tough at home, but Houston is a perfect 8-0 in true road games this season. That is pretty impressive no matter what conference you’re in. This will be a battle, but Houston’s defense is just too good. I’ll lay the points.
Pick: Houston -2
