Tulsa +10½ over HAWAII
If you like punts and punt returns don’t tune into this game. These two rely on juggernaut offenses to score points and chances are there will be three punts or less in this whole game. The total is 73 and so it should be, as one has to wonder where the stops are going to come from. The fact is Hawaii won’t be able to stop the Golden Hurricanes and the Golden Hurricanes will not be able to stop the Warriors. So, the team that covers this number is very likely going to do so because of turnovers. If there are no turnovers then Tulsa not only has a great chance to cover but to win outright. Hawaii’s special teams have been absolutely brutal all season long. It’s almost like they don’t even practice anything but scoring TD’s. That could pose a big problem for them here, as Tulsa could have tremendous field position all game long and be continuously working with a short field. Look, the Golden Hurricanes are very, very likely to put up between 45 and 55 points. If the Warriors can top that by 11, good luck to them but chances are Tulsa stays well within this range with a chance to win it. Play: Tulsa +10½ (Risking 2.16 units to win 2).
