Don't be misled into thinking UTEP could easily cover here.  Although they score more points overall, they have difficult scoring on the road (only avg of 24pts/game) whereas Rice has been putting up 32 pts/game at home.  Looking to bet the over on this as it appears much more likely.

For those of you who get your thrill trying to correlate the weather with the O/U, it looks like the weather will be mid 60's with a slight 15% chance of isolate showers for tonight's game. As a lifetime Houstonian, that means no rain. It did rain yesterday and a little so far today, but the Rice field is that "field turf" as opposed to "astro turf". So the minimal amount of rain means almost nothing.

The city of Houston is very spread out. Therefore just checking the weather by typing in "Houston" is almost worthless. It can be raining on the South side and nothing on the North, East or West side. Rice stadium is close to the middle of the city. Zip code is 77005 if you care.

For the record, I hate trying to figure out these types of games. Teams like Rice and UTEP always have wacky things happen. It is what happens when two teams are lower mid level teams. I was at the game in 2009 when Rice was a 3 point favorite over UTEP. It was the biggest Benny Hill show ever. UTEP had 6 turnovers and Rice miraculously wins by 1 point. 

As for today's game, you would think Jemail Showers for UTEP and Dphirius Jackson for Rice could put up some numbers at QB. Rice is a very bad team against the pass.

like the total to go over 52 i can see this game becoming a shootout.
utep qb has been playing much better as of late. as stated above rice pass defense not so good.

over 52 3 units

utep +7 1 unit

     Bro you are completely right about the weather, just checked national weather and it's no chance of rain high's in the 60's so the over is the play here.. both teams can score and if you look at there last 10 times they have played the total has gone over 9-0-1 and one tie at 52.. and rice has went over that total 6 out of 10 games this year and utep has a 7-2-1 on that total this year..but like I said the last 10 have went over besides one push at 52 between this 2 teams and it's been like this since 2004 to 2013... SO OVER IS THE PLAY FOR ME!! GLTA..

Crap I guess I jinxed it. It's been raining since I made my initial post at about 8am. It's that annoying drizzle. List a little harder than mist. It really hasn't stopped since 8am. It's 3 pm now. I'm sure it will subside by 7pm but who knows.

Rices coach is terrible. Wasting time every play. Takes the play clock to o:00,Thinking he is a pro coach and has manning back there. What a joke. This will come back and bit him. He will be looking for time at the end Stay with what works. Your little Jackson back there can not run. 
Give me a break.
