After a big emotional win on Saturday and a short week to travel from Oklahoma to Florida, I think this is a tough situational spot for Tulsa. They take on a UCF team that has struggled on the road, but have been lights out at home (granted against Charleston Southern, BC, Marshall, and Memphis). When you look at this matchup and breakdown the two teams, it almost seems obvious that Tulsa would win and win big. They both played SMU, who beat down UCF and got a beat down from Tulsa. Tulsa has an outstanding quarterback in GJ Kinne, while UCF has lost to some mediocre teams on the road this year, including the lowly UAB Blazers. There is every reason that Tulsa should be favored and win big. However, you have the Knights favored, with the public backing Tulsa. I think this game boils down to the situation. Tulsa off a huge win, hitting the road on a short week, facing a UCF team that has a stingy defense and has played great at home, playing a huge conference game. UCF, despite a lackluster season, still has a chance to win the Conference USA, and it all starts with grabbing a win here tonight. I think they get the job done is a defensive slugfest. All area college students can attend this game free of charge, and the stadium will be rocking tonight. Knights get the job done. Best of luck tonight everyone. Posted Record: 18-11

Veteran Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 1261 Location: Mississippi	#4 Posted: 11/3/2011 1:24:05 PM I'm leaning that way. Its one of those lines I briefly discussed yesterday in a thread I started regarding the Ohio/Temple game. When it looks to good to be true, it normally is. Tulsa looks to be easily a touchdown+ better then UCF yet UCF is favored. In that case, give me UCF

Veteran Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 1319 Location:	#6 Posted: 11/3/2011 1:39:43 PM Good luck with your play...It's looking like a no play for me. Tulsa has just played a lot tougher schedule. They've won the games that they were supposed to win. They looked great over the weekend. Just can't back CFla against a team that is doing things right. That being said you bring up some valid points with Tulsa traveling and all. CFla has been tough at home (although against weak opposition) and the crowd should be fired up for a primetime game. I may make a play on the total, but I just can't back a side in this game.

Everything about the matchup as far as the teams are concerned spells Tulsa. The line doesn't reflect that at all, and I think that's for the situational reasons I mentioned. If you're going to play the total, I'd lean to the Under. Everyone sees Tulsa as a high-powered offense, and they are, but again tough situational spot facing a great defense. UCF will run a lot and try to shorten the game in my opinion. Best of luck with your play.

I am on Tulsa tonight but there's no way I would say you're an idiot and they are gonna blow out UCF. I think you have a very thought out position on the game, I just don't agree with the result. One of us is going to win and it's not because the other one is an idiot. Good luck though, I will keep an eye out for your picks!

I think you need to put a little more into your capping though if that's how you think about a game. Tulsa eusally score thirty so they will score thirty. That's why Vegas is so rich. Not saying you're wrong that Tulsa cover, they very well could, but this type of logic is not a recipe for winning games.

You realize UCF is averaging 2.2 points per game against at home right? I know, I know, the strength of schedule. But still, the UCF defense is "plain garbage." Dude, you are smokin something really funny. Best of luck with whatever you play though, you're gonna need it.
