With this sizable spread, the public appears to believe Houston will regain its health at home in the midst of what amounts to a slump - two straight-up setbacks in its past three Division I games. Let’s not overlook the four-game winning streak for the Bearcats. Granted, the victories were by a combined nine points, but posting nothing but wins after emerging from a 25-day freeze in the season is impressive. Although the Cougars have not lost outright at home in 21 games and tend to cover, the fat line tilts the scales to the visitors rounding into form.
