This is a play on the TULSA GOLDEN HURRICANE-3 for our Thursday Free Play. Rice and Tulsa both come in with identical 3-3 records but they are made up differently. The Golden Hurricane have played the more difficult schedule by a wide margin with two of their losses coming against CFP contenders Washington and Oklahoma. The only other loss came in their last game at Florida Atlantic by just a field goal as their rally from an early 14-0 deficit fell just short. While the Tulsa offense if far from overpowering, it does have balance, averaging 194.2 ypg on the ground and 175.8 ypg through the air and that can keep this poor Rice defense off balance. The Golden Hurricane have taken advantage of this balanced attack by converting 46.7 percent of their third down opportunities which is No. 25 in the country. The Owls are also coming off a loss in their last game, a seven-point defeat against Connecticut as they dominated the stats but lost the turnover battle 4-0. They do have a quality loss against Texas but the third defeat came against a rough South Florida team. The victories have not been great as Rice nearly blew a 28-0 lead against Houston and was lucky to win by two points and it defeated a horrible East Carolina team where it was outgained 391-277. The Owls have a prolific passing attack behind quarterback J.T. Daniels but it is one dimensional as they cannot run the ball, averaging a mere 79.5 ypg on 2.8 ypc which is No. 129 in the country.

I cashed on the Astros +120 with my 10* top play on Wednesday. I'm not quite as high on Houston in Game 4, but I do heavily lean that way and feel it's worth a small bet. Houston has been a much better road team this year and after losing the first two at home with just 4 runs on 11 hits, they put up 8 runs on 12 hits in a 8-5 win last night. Astros are now 7-1 in 8 road games against Texas. I like their offense to stay hot against the Rangers Andrew Heaney and for Houston to tie this series up. Give me the Astros +105!
After winning back to back games in London, the Jaguars might have been expected to suffer a let down as a home favorite against the Colts last week. Apparently it was the first time in 12 such situations that team returning from London wasn't tied or trailing in the fourth quarter of their game the following week. Perhaps playing on the road on a short week at New Orleans with a banged up QB is the spot where we will Jacksonville come out flat. The Saints probably should have won against the Texans last week, out-gaining Houston 430-297 in total yards. This situation sets up perfectly to back the home team looking to bounce back off a loss.
