The UTSA Roadrunners (7-3, 6-0 AAC) will be at home to face the South Florida Bulls (5-5, 3-3 AAC) on Friday night in a conference battle. UTSA has cruised through the American Athletic Conference, most recently topping Rice 34-14 at home. They’ll remain home here, and they’ve loved playing at the Alamodome, where they’re 4-1. USF is coming off of a 27-23 win over Temple, pulling them back .500.

Game Prediction

The Roadrunners have a well-balanced offensive attack, coming in ranked 50th-best in rushing yards and 58th in passing yards. USF has been pretty terrible defensively, so I don’t see them being able to keep up. The Bulls give up the fifth-most yards in the nation and the second-most passing yards.

USF runs the ball really well, but their defense has held them back this season. The Bulls have fared well against the spread in road games, and even though their defense won’t get many stops, their offense can let them come within 16 points in this one.

Final Pick:

South Florida +16 (-110)
