College Football Betting Preview Rice vs Southern Mississippi Pick

The 0-4 Rice Owls take on the 2-2 Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles on Wednesday night. Although Rice is 0-4 and a big underdog they may get a break as Southern Miss has injury problems. The Golden Eagles are looking at starting red-shirt freshman Martevious Young who is the third string quarterback behind senior Jeremy Young and senior Stephen Reaves. Young was hurt against Boise State while Reaves was hurt in practice on Sunday. "He pulled a muscle in his abdomen," said head coach Jeff Bower. "I don't know what this means for Wednesday. It is going to be a game-time decision. He has not practiced today or yesterday. I would say right now we will probably start Martevious (Young), because he has practiced." Young is excited about the possible start. "When I get under those lights I might be a little nervous, but I think that will pass pretty quickly," Young said. SBG Global reports that early betting has the public taking the favored Southern Mississippi at Home.
