I'd take rice and the points honestly.

I don't bet much but I'd say taking rice is dumb, but the under is prob cool.

It's off the boards locally I believe.
I'd go with Rice and points though.

No, it's a stupid bet.
Rice was in the lower half of the NCAA in every defensive category and now has their top 2 defenders suspended.
They're primarily a running team, which plays to A&M's defensive strengths.
The determining factor in the "Over/Under" is how many points A&M scored.
The last CUSA team A&M played was held to 3 points in their own building (SMU).

Never bet on a school named for food.

Stay the hell away from this game. Who knows how a true freshman is going to do in his first game. Plus how long will Johnny play in the 2nd half.

Honestly, probably not a safe bet.
Unlike a lot of blowout, where one team gets ahead, puts in the backups and the other team scores garbage points to make it close, this game will see A&M likely building a modest first half lead only to see the Heisman winner come in and build on that in the second half when Rice is getting worn down.
Sumlin's personality leads me to believe he might leave Manziel in most of the half and let him anger frick the Owls as long as possible.

I wouldn't touch it. The determining factor will be if there are any cobwebs on the A&M O because the talent differential is staggering even without JFF. Rice hasn't got a DLine that can get pressure on the QB. They haven't got the speed to deal with the A&M RB's. They absolutely have no answer for A&M's 3 receivers 6'5 and above. Realize this is a team that put up 40 points in a half like it was nothing last year against subpar competition, 27 points is just 4 TD's.
A&M could well come out and struggle but I doubt it. I'd just stay away. I do think the under is safer than the spread though but that is because I don't think Rice scores more than a TD or 2.
