Throughout the season, Chronicle staff writer Joseph Duarte, along with a 10-member reader panel, will pick games involving Conference USA teams and select national games.
Before we dive into the picks, it’s time for me to offer my Week 8 predictions for the Houston and Rice games:
Houston 38, SMU 17.
Tulsa 52, Rice 28.
Give me your predictions.
