Houston vs Idaho Predictions & Picks
Houston are tipped to ease past Idaho, but miss out on a first-round cover.
The Cougars are a disciplined group that play elite defense, but over the past several weeks that has not resulted in them covering the spread consistently.
- Houston are 2-9-0 ATS in their last 11 games
- Idaho are 7-1-0 ATS in their previous 8 games
- Idaho are 5-1-0 ATS in their 6 games at neutral venues this season
- The Under has cashed in 10 of Houston’s last 14 games
Head To Head
- Houston lead the all-time series 1-0
- Houston won 76-61 when the two teams last met in December 1963

Verdict
Houston are clearly the better team and should have few issues sweeping aside Idaho.
However, the Cougars have been an unreliable spread bet over the past several weeks, unlike their opponents, so a backdoor for the Vandals could be on the cards here.
