Rice Owls at Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners Key Injury Concerns<br />
</h2>
<p>
Heading into this contest, UTSA Quarterback Frank Harris remains day-to-day with an arm injury that has kept him sidelined for the last two games. The Roadrunners are 1-1 SU and ATS in his absence.

Rice Owls at Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Rice Owls </b>
</p>
<p>
The Owls remain winless on the season and have not won a game since their season finale in 2018 against Old Dominion. Most recently, Rice took the field in Birmingham against the defending Conference USA Champions, the UAB Blazers, two weeks ago. Closing as a 10-point underdog, the Owls failed to cash in when they fell 35-20.

Texas-San Antonio Road Runners<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Roadrunners were last in action last week against the same team Rice faced two weeks ago: UAB. UTSA attained a less remarkable result than their counterparts, and they were also curating the hosting duties while they did so. Closing as a 12.5-point underdog, UAB lit up UTSA by a final tally of 33-14, which resulted in ripped tickets for Texas-San Antonio backers.

<h2>
Reasons To Back Rice Owls<br />
</h2>
<p>
The line here speaks for itself. The Owls have yet to be favored in a game this season, and they have not been favored in this series for over five years. Given how Rice is also winless on the year, it is clear that the market is taking a firm position on this match-up. With respect to the public's assessment of Rice as a whole, the Owls are likely spotting a short-priced number here as there would be no other way to get takers aboard unless they were priced at a friendly number. Under different circumstances, the Owls could easily be spotting a touchdown to the Roadrunners, but we get to take advantage of a likely short-sold favorite.

Reasons To Avoid Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners<br />
</h2>
<p>
On the flip-side, the Roadrunners dominance in this series would position them to be overvalued in this market. It is for this reason that UTSA has gone 2-2 ATS over their present four-game win-streak against the Owls. Situationally, this seems to be another one of those spots. After all, Rice has had an extra week to prepare for this game compared to UTSA, which is a considerable advantage against these Roadrunners who are still licking their wounds from the UAB beat-down.
