Although I'm an Oklahoma alumni, I live in Tulsa and follow them closely.
I was actually going to go pretty large on Tulsa until the line came out and they were favored. I was pretty surprised. I expected them to by like a 3 point dog. Although the line indicates the books agree with me, I think I'll just make a normal wager on the game.
Tulsa is pretty good for a Conference USA team. Likewise, I feel like people are a little too high on Iowa State. They're an average team. I warned everyone of that before their bowl game last year against Rutgers when a lot of people here were taking them.
I love Iowa State's coach and the way their team plays but I could see them overlooking a Tulsa and getting beat early in the year.
Also, TU might be better at QB this year.
We have the Nebraska transfer Cody Green and he fits the offense pretty well. Be careful taking Iowa State.
A C-USA team is favored on the road against a Big 12 team and I'm already seeing everyone in love with Iowa State.
