Houston defeated LSU 38–35 in a nail-biter. Houston covered by 1.5; Game went Over by 29.5. The market closed at Houston -1.5 and the Blue Chip model made it LSU -8.7 - a gap of 10.2 points toward LSU, of which 10.2 points were beyond the model's measured factors. That was an information gap - the market pricing something the model does not carry - rather than a measured edge. Blue Chip Analytics had rated LSU 8.7 points stronger on a neutral field.
