Rice isn't that good of team, but I think Marshall is a lot worse.  Rice should have no problem taking this game even with a spread of -8.5...   Rice began the season really looking bad, but the second half they have made some progress.  Winning  creates  and attitude that makes you hungry for more.  Take Rice  -8.5

Rice did a nice job last week and gave me a win.    This week I like Houston -3   vs   Rice    ..   They are pretty well matched, but  I like Houston to take this game, they have the edge.  Actually should win by a TD.
