Utah-Houston Matchup Shapes Up as a Big 12 Shootout

The top-15 Big 12 battle between Utah and Houston is one of the most difficult games on the card. Houston has not played as well as expected this season, narrowly missing an opportunity against Texas Tech before falling behind UCF 17-0.

Houston should be able to hang with Utah, but the preferred play is over 56.5 points. Both teams feature high-scoring offenses, while Houston’s defense has struggled at times this season.

Utah and Houston are each capable of reaching the 30s in what could become a typical Big 12 shootout decided by whichever team has the ball last. The matchup may also present an opportunity to find a live bet shortly after kickoff.
