Friday: NCAAF PLAY IS ON UTEP Game 117 at 8:00 eastern. The Miners are 12-0 ats as a road dog of 7 or more with revenge vs an opponent off a loss. They never play well vs Rice, particularly here. However, many of the losses were when they were mediocre teams. Tonight these two square off with even records and stats on both sides of the ball that very close. When we look at the common opponents is where we see the UTEP Edges. The Miners beat Old Dominion at home 42035 while Rice lost to ODU by that same score at home. UTEP Won at Texas San Antonio 34-0, while Rice beat them at home 17-7. Rice is 0-4 ats on week days games and was battered badly vs Marshall last week so their psyche may be off here. UTEP is on a Roll and has big revenge here. We will take the points with them here. Take UTEP.
