Baylor vs Houston Prediction, Preview, & Odds – 11/23/2024

The Baylor Bears are set to take on the Houston Cougars in a Big 12 matchup on November 23, 2024 at 7:00 pm EST. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Houston Cougars are eight-point underdogs. The total for the game has been set at 50.5. This game is expected to be a thrilling showdown between two Texas-based teams, and we have you covered with our best bet for Baylor vs Houston from TDECU Stadium.

Baylor Surging Against Big 12 Competition

Lately, the Baylor Bears have been on fire, winning four games in a row to go from 2-4 on the season to 6-4. Baylor is now bowl eligible, which should take a ton of pressure off of them going into the final two weeks of the regular season, including this game against Houston. The Bears will look to keep things rolling on offense, as they have scored over 35 points in every game of their recent winning streak. But against a Houston team that hangs its hat on the defensive side of the ball, that might be tough to accomplish.

Can Houston Offense Keep Its Bowl Hopes Alive?

Houston is 4-6 on the season coming into this all-Texas affair against Baylor. They are coming off of a 27-3 loss to the Arizona Wildcats last week, a game where they lost the turnover battle 3-1 and were outscored 17-0 in the second half. This week, Houston has to get a win or they will not reach the six-win mark that is needed to become bowl-eligible. To get a win this week, they will need to find a way to slow down a Baylor offense that is operating at a very high level right now.

Baylor vs Houston Betting Pick

We will take the points with the home team in this Baylor vs Houston matchup. While Baylor is undoubtedly playing better football going into this game, we could see them take their foot off the gas to some extent now that they have reached a bowl bid. Houston, meanwhile, has no such luxury and we should see them play their best in what should be a one-possession game in either direction from Houston.
