Sam Houston State Bearkats Football 2024

The Sam Houston State Bearkats went just 3-9 in 2023, but all three wins came in their last four games, indicating the Bearkats could be ready to turn things around in 2024.

Despite their record and a second-to-last-place finish in Conference USA, the Bearkats managed to come out positive against the spread with a 6-5-1 record. Will Sam Houston carry its momentum from the end of last season into a winning season in 2024?

Here's how you can bet on Sam Houston this season, and some key things to know.

Betting on the Sam Houston State Bearkats

Sam Houston Point Spreads

Point spreads are a popular bet one can make on either team in a college football game and are based on the margin of victory for the winning team.

A Sam Houston spread might look like this:

  • Sam Houston +3.5 (-110)
  • New Mexico State -3.5 (-110)

A 31-28 loss for Sam Houston is still a win for spread bettors since the three-point margin of defeat is less than the 3.5-point spread. Spread tickets on the Bearkats would cash with any loss of three or fewer points, or an outright win.

FAQ: Everything you need to know about point spreads

Sam Houston Over/Unders

Over/unders, or totals, are bets on the number of points scored in the game. Sam Houston was an even 6-6 to the Over in the regular season in 2023.

FAQ: Betting the point total, explained | What is a push?

Sam Houston Moneylines

While spread bets depend on the amount of the victory, moneyline bets are a bit simpler, as all that matters is which team wins. Let's look at an example:

  • Sam Houston -160
  • UTEP +180

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Sam Houston the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $100 increments. A wager on the Bearkats odds would mean every $160 bet nets $100. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here, the UTEP moneyline was set at +180, meaning a $100 wager would profit $180.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet on Sam Houston's moneyline and the Over, both bets would need to win for that parlay to be successful. The risk may be greater, but so is the reward with increased odds. Use our Odds Calculator to calculate any bet amount or conversion.

Sam Houston Props

Player props are bets on how much of a specific statistic a player will accumulate.

For example, you could bet on how many touchdown passes QB Hunter Watson will throw in a game or bet over or under on RB John Gentry's rushing yards. Many skill position players (and some defenders) will have a variety of props available to bet each game.

FAQ: Here’s how prop betting works

Sam Houston Futures

Futures are somewhat similar to prop bets in the way both are monitored over the course of a season. However, most future bets are focused on end of season success. Examples of futures are:

  • Sam Houston odds to win Conference USA
  • Sam Houston odds to reach the College Football Playoff

If you think the Bearkats can win the Conference USA championship this season, this is the bet to make. These types of bets are called futures, and they're just wagers on things that settle at the end of the year.
