UTSA vs. USF Picks

Point Spread Pick for UTSA vs. USF

  • USF Bulls -14 (4 Units)

The Bulls have won four of their last five games, while the Roadrunners have won four of their last six games. USF has the edge here because they have a balanced offense, with one of the best passing and running games in the country. The Roadrunners have one of the worst pass defenses in the country, and their ground game isnโ€™t much better, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Bulls.

UTSA will have a hard time keeping up with the Bulls because they run the ball well, but their passing game isnโ€™t as good. The Bulls have a good ground defense and will limit the damage the Roadrunners do on the ground, which will allow them to keep pressure on McCown and force him to make costly mistakes. Take South Florida to cover the spread.

Over/Under Pick for UTSA vs. USF

  • Over 68.5

The Roadrunners played over the total in their last three games, while the Bulls played over the total in five of their last six games. UTSA averages 34 points per game. They throw the ball 51 percent of the time with the 78th-ranked passing attack in the country, and theyโ€™re facing a team that is 126th against the pass and is giving up 25.7 points per game at home. The Bulls average 40.4 points per game. They run the ball 54 percent of the time with the 12th-ranked ground game in the country, and theyโ€™re facing a team that is 84th against the run and is giving up 35 points per game on the road. Expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total.
