Here, we break down Houston vs BYU and give you our best bet for this matchup from Provo, UT.

Can Houston Pull Upset and Play Spoiler?

This season, the Houston Cougars are 4-7 overall and 3-5 in Big 12 play. They have dropped two straight games coming into their season finale, dropping games to Arizona and Baylor in their last two outings. Here, they will look to end their season on a high note by beating BYU and ruining what's left of their College Football Playoff hopes. To do that, the Cougars will have to find some offense, as they are near the bottom of the FBS ranks in scoring average at 13.6 points per game.

BYU With Everything to Play For Saturday

The BYU Cougars have lost two games in a row to drop to 9-2 entering the final game of their regular season. The Cougars can still make the Big 12 title game and are still alive for a College Football Playoff berth. But they can't afford to slip up against Houston if they want either of those things to happen. The offense of the Cougars has to wake up for them to keep their hopes of a conference title and a playoff berth alive, after the Cougars have averaged just 18 points per game over their last two games.

Houston vs BYU Prediction

Our best bet for Houston vs BYU is for the under to hit on Saturday night. Houston's offense has been consistently bad this season, while BYU's has hit a rough patch over the last couple of weeks. Expect both teams to have trouble putting points on the board and for this game to remain low-scoring and packed with pressure on the Cougars from start to finish.
