This isn’t the best Sam Houston State team of late but they’ve always been an above average defensive school despite their current stats. The Utes are 0-3 ATS, all at home, to start the year and are the better team on paper, but this is, probably, the best team they’ll play so far in the season. Sam Houston State isn’t known for their offense but put up 77 points against a Red Raiders defense that is top-30 in the country. Utah’s defense isn’t as good as the Red Raiders and they’re a team that hasn’t been trustworthy to cover over the last few seasons.
