Oklahoma Sooners vs Tulsa Golden Hurricane Point Spread Picks

The Oklahoma Sooners will take on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, a natural in-state rivalry game. The Sooners are 5-2 and rank #15 nationally, and are coming off an eight day exam break, and have to go on the road vs. a Tulsa team that is 3-1 at home. Tulsa was yet another victim of lower-tiered teams as they lost their last time out to SE Oklahoma State at home. That marked the first time the Golden Hurricane were beaten by a non-Division I opponent since a Feb. 2, 1977, so you can bet this team is eager to redeem their hideous performance in that contest, and they have been 6-1 ATS when following a loss in their last seven.
