Eagles open as 7.5 point favorites at Rice

Last edited:
Two things stood out for me when looking at this matchup. Rice is ranked 122nd in yards allowed per rush attempt and 126th in yards allowed per pass attempt. They can't stop the run or the pass so big advantage for our offense in this game.
They were blown out by both WKU and LA Tech at home. Two teams with similar high scoring offenses.

Those are huge factors indeed. However, never discount the fact that it is a road game. Those are always tougher. The team will have to focus regardless. I remember too many Fedora teams losing games they never should have because of lack of focus. That said. I think this team will be focused and will play well. SMTTT
