Tulsa Golden Hurricane vs UL Monroe Warhawks Point Spread Picks

Charlie Weatherby may have his best team yet at ULM this year. He has yet to have a winning record at ULM, but this season should change and a Bowl bid is not out of the question. The Warhawks return everyone on offense and as such should easily eclipse the 21.8 points per game they averaged last season. This team lost just 16 letterman and bring back most of the key players. They finished 4-8 last season, but lost five games by a total of 15 points, so they certainly aren't that far away. With the experience on the field this season, most of those five close games should go in the win column in 2007. Todd Graham takes over at Tulsa and expectations are always high. The Golden Hurricane have managed three Bowl bids in the last four years, but this perhaps may be a transition season. Tulsa returns just four starters and six players on defense. With a new coach, new system, and lots of young players, it may take time to develop. ULM, a team that for once has a lot of weapons and experience, is catching a young Tulsa team at the right time. We like the home dog here to pull the surprise.
