Point Spread: -4.50 | -105.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on Houston.

REASONING: SDSU finished 10-3, while Houston was 9-3. The Aztecs defeated Wyoming 27-24 in the Mountain West Championship game, while the Cougars finished 5-3 in conference and third overall in the AAC West. Aztecs QB Christian Champan had just 85 yards, no TD's and one INT in the win over the Cowboys, as it was RB's Donnel Pumphrey and Rashad Penny carrying the offensive load, the former finishing with 110 yards and the latter posting 117 yards and two TD's. SDSU is solid defensively, conceding 21 PPG, which ranks 19th overall. That defense though is about to be tested by the high-flying Cougars. Houston was on a three-game win streak before losing 48-44 to Memphis in its final regular season game. The Cougars are led by QB Greg Ward Jr, who finished with 3,328 yards passing and a solid 22:9 TD to INT ratio. Houston averages 38 PPG, which ranks it 21st in the nation and the defense has been almost as good, allowing an average of just 22.6 PPG, ranked 27th. Note that the Cougars are 3-0 ATS in non-conference games this year and 10-3 ATS in the same position over the last three, while SDSU is just 2-3 ATS in non-conference games this season and just 5-9 ATS in the same position over the last three. Pumphrey is amazing, but I think Ward Jr. is the difference maker today. The Cougars are the complete package and we can't see the Aztecs keeping pace down the stretch. Play on HOUSTON.
