Why bet on #11 Houston Cougars to win and/or cover
At 10-1, Houston figures to be a big favorite against the 7-5 USF Bulls on Thursday night. The Cougars have won every game this season except for a Dec. 29 battle versus Tulsa. Houston lost that game by a single point, 65-64. If the Houston team that beat Texas Tech 64-53 on Nov. 29 shows up, South Florida may want to walk out of the building at halftime.

Why bet on South Florida Bulls to and/or cover
On paper, it looks like the Bulls have no shot. But South Florida has covered in 3 of their last 4 games. The Bulls won 2 of those games straight up and lost to Memphis by a single point, 58-57, on Dec. 29. South Florida is a patient squad. They also have a talented guard in David Collins who doesn’t turn over the ball and plays within the system.

Final betting analysis for #11 Houston Cougars at South Florida Bulls
Oddsmakers won’t set a spread on Houston versus South Florida until either Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Because that’s the case, we must consider all angles before coming up with a prediction.
South Florida can step it up, no doubt. David Collins is a solid enough guard to keep the Bulls in this game for a while. Collins won’t rush, which could cause Houston some issues. In the last battle between these two, Houston beat the Bulls 62-58.
Quinten Grimes, the Cougars’ best player, got his points. Collins got his as well. The rematch could produce a similar score. A good point cut-off for this game is 6. If the Bulls are 6-point underdogs or more, back them to cover. If Houston is a 5 points or less favorite, back them to cover.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Houston -6 or less, South Florida +6 or more
