Houston Cougars Win Total Odds
The college football win total bet is a part prop, part future hybrid. The plus and minus values assign odds to either side of Houston’s win total line. This bet functions like a total bet. Bet either over or under the sportsbook’s line.
“o” stands for over and “u” stands for under. Bet over if you think the Cougars will win more games than the value of the line. Bet under if you think they’ll win fewer games.

Point Spread Bets
The point spread is one of the most common and winnable bets in college football. The Houston Cougars will be the favorite when their point spread line has a minus sign “-” before the number. They’ll be the underdog when the line has a plus sign “+” before the number.
The odds are to the right of point spread line. Standard betting odds are -110. That means you’ll risk $110 to win $100. From time to time, the odds might be higher or lower depending on the betting action for or against the Cougars.
Total Bets
Decide whether the sum of both teams’ final scores will be over or under the sportsbook’s total line.
Each side will have its own odds. In many cases, both sides will have -110 standard odds. Over will be abbreviated as “o” and under will be abbreviated as “u”. Each side’s odds will be to the right of the letter abbreviation.
Take care when handicapping a total bet. You must consider the ability of the Cougars and their opponent to put points on the scoreboard. Carefully determine whether the game will be a slugfest between two dominant offenses, or a low-scoring slog between two defensive teams.
Games sportsbooks anticipate to be high-scoring will get higher total lines and more expensive over odds. Contrast this to a game that’s anticipated to be lower-scoring, which will get lower total lines and more expensive under odds.
Moneyline Bets
You’re simply picking the outright winner with a moneyline bet. Pick either the favorite or the underdog to win. Taking Houston on the moneyline when they’re a big underdog can be more profitable than a point spread bet if you’re confident the Cougars can win.
Moneyline favorites have a minus sign “-” before their number. This number indicates how much you risk to win $100. If the Cougars are -160 favorites, you would risk $160 to win $100. When the Cougars are overwhelming favorites, you may see their moneyline value exceed -500.
Moneyline underdogs have a plus sign “+” before their number. This number indicates how much you win if you risk $100. For example, if Houston is a +225 underdog, you would risk $100 to win $225. If the Cougars are a big underdog, their moneyline might be +650 or more.
Be careful when betting heavy moneyline favorites, even if it’s for the Cougars to win the game. Backing a big favorite means you’ll tie up a large amount of bankroll for a small profit. In these cases, betting the point spread might be a better option.
