I like the underdog No. 21 Houston here in the American Athletic Conference championship game on Saturday. No. 4 Cincinnati is an undefeated 12-0 on the season while Houston has one loss, but note that the Cougars have won 11 straight since a 38-21 loss to Texas Tech in íts season opener. The stats are very similar for both teams on both sides of the ball, and I don't think the Cougars are getting enough respect here.

In addition to Houston covering the spread, I also like the over as both quarterbacks are capable of coming up with big plays. Over is 11-3-1 in Cougars last 15 games as a road underdog.

8* play on OVER.
