I realize that this is a crappy game, but for some reason, this game jumped out. When was the last time Tulsa was a road favorite laying more than a touchdown? I can't recall if this has ever happened. Granted, UTEP is no powerhouse, but they have been playing better. Tulsa is definitely improved even though I am not sold that they are that good and appear to be getting too much repect from the oddsmakers by making them 8.5 chalk on the road. I will plug my nose and grab UTEP and the points.

This is what June Jones had to say about UTEP per Phil Steele's News and Notes". I am not sure that it means anything, but I feel a little better taking UTEP in this spot.

Hawaii Head Coach June Jones said about a UTEP team that has played well in its last four games "They are a better team than some people think. They are very well coached. They play hard, they've got young players and we had our hands full." UTEP had a 28-24 FD edge and 244 yds rushing in UH's 31-15 win in which UH only led 26-15 in the 4Q...

Just saw this stat at Covers, can't believe it. UTEP has never failed to cover avenging a shutout loss. Last year Tulsa beat them 20-0. This stat is 20-0 also, fwiw..

MHK:

Thanks for providing the stat. All trends and stats aside, UTEP looks like a live home dog. I am hoping that their improved play of late will lead them to the victory. UTEP should be able to compete with Tulsa talent wise. The more I analyze the game, the more I like UTEP.
