Tulsa Golden Hurricane vs Wyoming Cowboys Point Spread Picks

Wyoming's offense is even worse than we thought as it lost 38-6 to Illinois and QB Andrew Peasley completed only five passes for 30 yards in 20 attempts. The Cowboys did rush for 182 yards on 31 carries, but the defense allowed 260 yards on the ground, inclduing 151 yards by Chris Brown. Wyoming obviously missed star wide receiver Isaiah Neyor, who transferred to Texas, and the Cowboys went 1-for-12 on third down conversions and came up short on their only fourth down conversion attempt. They'll continue to run the ball, but opposing defenses will focus on that knowing the Cowboys have no passing game. Tulsa comes off a 7-6 season and has a rebuilt offensive line that still is a question mark and is the key to how the offense will perform behind QB Davis Brin, who is in his second season as a full-time starter and threw 18 touchdown passes in 2021, but also 16 interceptions. Tulsa averaged 26 points per game last year and the Golden Hurricane are 6-1 UNDER their past seven games versus the Mountain West Conference, 10-3-1 UNDER their past 14 non-conference games overall. Also, Tulsa is 8-2-1 UNDER its past 11 September games. Wyoming has gone UNDER 10 of 14 after giving up at least 200 yards rushing its previous game. Play the UNDER.

The Wyoming Cowboys are off to a surprising 3-0 start, and one was an impressive win vs. Missouri. There is a huge caveat, however. Wyoming has been out-gained by all three opponents. Tulsa has played up in two of their three games and one thing is clear. This team is going to pound the ball for 60 minutes and that means 50+ rushing attempts. They don't have the depth to get into a shootout. Wyoming has basically followed the same prescription as the Cowboys have run the ball at least 42 times in all three games. This game could easily feature 100 rushing attempts between both teams. Games that feature even 90 rushing attempts by both sides play 57.7% to the UNDER. Back the UNDER.
