The Post’s Howie Kussoy, aka The Pigskin Profit, takes a shot on Thursday night’s college football game between the SMU Mustangs and host Houston Cougars:

Smu (-14) over HOUSTON: Regardless of quarterback and country singer Clayton Tune’s status, the Cougars’ 120th-ranked defense will doom them against the nation’s No. 7 offense. Led by Texas transfer Shane Buechele, the Mustangs are 7-0 for the first time since 1982.
