As always i like the metrics on these games, don't like boring people with numbers overload so i will add non-metric tidbits that i also like on these games.
Wyoming started the season 4-0 ATS then injuries hit them hard and that hot start was despite having changed the defensive system from 43 to 34, so i expect this defence to keep improving. Wyoming could have risked few of those returning from injury in the CSU game but decided not with bye week coming. Now they are healthier and SJS defence struggles vs mobile QB. Projecting better show here from Wyoming after embarassing loss to CSU.
This is very simple, Louisville's dream has been dashed even though most sophisticated knew that dream was a very long shot anyway. So i get an emotionally down team travelling to S. Florida team that can play defence and have been improving recently. Too many points
RICE has lost of their most experienced cover guys in the backfield of their defence and they face N.Texas next on the road [One of the closest to them in CUSA West standing]. I can see sloppy RICE that showed vs FAU at home when they had Tulsa pending.
Spot is very juicy for Tulane here. They lost by 35 at home to loaded Tulsa last season, now Tulsa is down this year but Tulane better than last season [you what i am seeing]. They are playing this game to honour Devon Walker [a former player who was paralysed in a game vs Tulsa last season] so they will be pumped here. There is talk that they game will see 15mph winds and Tulane in local newspaper have been emphasing running the ball well and stopping the run in their game-plan. They are just ready
