Sam Houston has been solid this season with their defense and it’s keeping teams off the scoreboard. Last season they had their defense figured out but couldn’t score on offense. This season they have made up for it and are a well balanced team. Now they host a really fast paced Bobcats team that loves to run up the score with a weak defense. The Bobcats are off a bye and are 1-4 against the spread when playing against a team with a winning record. This game is going to see some back and forth but Sam Houston at home will make this a tough game to get from them and getting all these points is a gift. The Bobcats are 3-5 against the spread in weeks 5 through 9. The Bearkats are 7-3 against the spread at home as an underdog and are 3-1 against the spread at home when they are an underdog of 3.5 to 10 points. As this game will be played at a neutral field, but considered a home game for SH, they are 1-0 against the spread as a neutral field underdog of 7.5 to 14 points. After 1 or more consecutive straight up wins, SH is 3-1 against the spread.

Best bet: take the points with Sam Houston.
