A demanding road stretch for the Tigers

Texas Southern's verified recent-game record is 0-1, with averages of 10.0 points scored and 51.0 allowed; this is the programs' first meeting, so there is no prior head-to-head result to lean on.

Pick Ideas

Texas Southern +47.5

Lean toward the large underdog number: Texas Southern is 0-1 in the verified recent-game sample, averaging 10.0 points per game and allowing 51.0. The listed line is Texas Southern +47.5, though blowout risk remains.

Under 62.5, cautiously

FAU's 2026 conference opener was a 16-10 win over FIU, with the Owls scoring 16 points; its more recent 45-point performance makes this a selective under lean.
