It’s worth noting our college football expert, Stuckey, revealed a stance on betting Tulsa to go under its season win total of 4.5.
However, the line is moving up early in the market cycle, with bets favoring Tulsa to cover the spread.
This one opened -31.5 and is up to its current peak of -33.5 It’s worth noting that Northwestern State, which finished 0-6 last season, dropped two games vs. FBS opponents last season: One by 25, another by 30.
Fellow college football analyst Collin Wilson also projects Tulsa to be one of the worst in the country this season: The Golden Hurricane rank No. 122 out of 134 teams.
However, they’re the side oddsmakers have had to adjust early in the betting cycle.
