Rice Owls vs UTSA Roadrunners Betting Prediction

Now we have the Rice Owls vs UTSA Roadrunners Betting Prediction for both teams.

When you put these two together, the key factor will be whether Rice’s dominant run game can control the pace against UTSA’s fast, aggressive style. The Owls will try to grind down the clock and keep the ball away from the Roadrunners’ offense, but their lack of passing balance makes them predictable. UTSA’s defense, despite its ups and downs, should be able to focus on stacking the box and forcing Rice to win through the air — something the Owls haven’t proven they can do consistently. Meanwhile, UTSA’s balanced offense and proven home-field success should allow them to find their rhythm early and wear down the Rice defense as the game progresses. Given the matchup history, trends, and offensive depth, UTSA looks primed to control this game and cover the spread.

Rice Owls vs UTSA Roadrunners Betting Prediction: Rice

The Rice Owls come into this Week 7 matchup searching for stability after an uneven start to their 2025 campaign. Rice has shown flashes of competitiveness, particularly with a strong running game that ranks among the best in the nation at over 219 yards per contest. This ground-heavy offense has been their foundation, allowing them to control the tempo and time of possession (averaging 32:14 per game, 25th nationally). Their ability to protect the football is also a bright spot — the Owls rank inside the top 10 nationally in fewest turnovers per game. However, their one-dimensional attack is a glaring issue, with a passing offense that ranks near the bottom of the FBS at just 93.2 yards per game. This lack of balance has made it difficult to sustain drives against disciplined defenses. Defensively, Rice has been solid but not dominant, giving up 21.5 points per game and holding opponents to under 200 passing yards. Still, the Owls’ biggest struggle has been performing on the road — they’re just 2-7 against the spread away from home and winless in their last five road meetings with UTSA.

Rice Owls vs UTSA Roadrunners Betting Prediction: UTSA

The UTSA Roadrunners, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back from a few early missteps but remain one of the most balanced teams in the American Athletic Conference. Offensively, UTSA is capable of striking in multiple ways, averaging 29.2 points per game and over 385 yards of total offense. The Roadrunners’ running game has been particularly impressive, racking up nearly 179 yards per game behind a physical offensive line and a deep backfield rotation. Their passing attack, while not elite, has been steady enough to keep defenses honest. On defense, UTSA has been somewhat inconsistent, allowing just under 30 points per game, but they’ve been much tougher at home, where they’ve gone 5-0 straight up in their last five games versus Rice. Their recent betting trends also favor high-scoring contests, with the total going over in six straight home games and in ten of their last thirteen overall. When UTSA establishes rhythm early, they’re a difficult team to slow down, especially with the energy they generate in front of their home crowd in the Alamodome.
