    Houston -1.5 @ Tulsa = does not make any sense
    Can someone explain to me why Houston only -1.5 @ Tulsa. Houston is ranked and a way better team in compare with Tulsa, and Houston is only favored only by 1.5. Why???

    I think its a trap!!

    I know it is and I'm going to go for it. The cheese smells so good. I think its really fishy that the line has moved down!! Heard that the sharps are all over Tulsa. But why??? Nothing that I can dig up says Tulsa is the right play. I feel like a square playing Houston but it feels too easy of a play.

      I'm not sure. It looks like a no brainer to bet the house on Houston.

      That being said, everytime that happens it freaks me out. It makes me wonder about what's really going on. Vegas isn't in the business of handing out money. A lot of the big early money came in on Tulsa.

      Needless to say, I put money on Houston.

          Houston's defense has been absolutely trash of late. Giving up 43 points to Southern Miss is a travesty and they gave up 58 against UTEP, a team Tulsa held to 28.

          One stat that stands out to me is this...
          Tulsa is 13-3 SU in its last 16 games at home. Plus Houston doesn't play very well on turf 3-7 for the last 10.

          Tulsa's rush defense is very good so they are going to turn Houston into a one dimensional team very quickly. Although they've lost the last 3 games, they have all been fairly close. The line is probably right on the money. I think UH will cover but this is going to be a shootout, with the last team scoring possibly covering.
