This may be a sucker's bet, but I'm taking the bait!  I capped it at Houston -9.5, so I'll lay the 2 against an inferior Tulsa squad.

Is it because of the pereived home field advantage over the last two years when these two sans defensive squads meet?

The game is 2007 did not involve Sumlin.    I lost on the UH v. UTEP game. 

Do the Vegas handicappers believe this game is going to be such a shootout that it is impossble to differentiate one team from the other.

I have not made a decision here, but I advise everyone not to overthink this matchup. 

I will go with logic and my gut.  Sucka Bet it may be, but I have UH +1...

Umm...am I missing something here?  Do you guys not see that Houston has a worse defense (by far) than Tulsa?  Houston gives up 461 yards per game, good for 114th in the country!  lip, you say Tulsa might have the worst pass defense that you have watched all year...you must not have watched a Houston game because their pass D actually ranks lower than Tulsa's.  That, and they give up 222 rushing yards a friggin game!  I mean come on.  Tulsa offense runs for 154 a game.  Put 2 and 2 together, and Tulsa should be running all over Houston, which keeps Keenum off the field.

I'm not touching this game now that Tulsa is the fav, but all you have to do is look at the stats and you can see why this line only opened at -3 for Houston.

With this line movement, Im loving Tulsa. Crazy crazy crazy
