This is a 10* ATS SUPER BLOWOUT on UTSA.

While I won't call for an outright win here, I do definitely feel this is too many points to be giving up and look for the Roadrunners to sneak in through the back door down the stretch. I think the red hot Rice Owls have a letdown here, just enough of one for the hungry Roadrunners to take advantage of. UTSA is coming off an embarrassing 34-0 setback at home to UTEP. After three straight losses, Rice has now won five straight, most recently a 31-17 decision on the road against FIU. Desperation breeds motivation though and this also sets up as a revenge game after Rice beat UTSA 27-21 in San Antonio last year. I won't try to convince you that the Roadrunners are a good team, obviously they aren't, offensively they've been a train wreck of late, but I simply feel this is a great situational play. Defensively though UTSA has been stellar, it's fourth in the conference in total yards and scoring offense (and that is despite losing 34-0 to UTEP last week, still managing to hold the Miners to 351 yards of total offense). And the Owls aren't one of the best offensive teams in the conference, they average 31.4 PPG, ranking sixth. Defensively the Owls are sound, ranked fifth in the league, but as I said, I think the conditions are right for a mental lapse this weekend; note that UTSA is a perfect 6-0 ATS the last two seasons as an underdog in the 3.5 to 10 points range, while Rice is 0-1 ATS as a home fave in the same price range. Grab as many point as you can in this one.
