Spread Pick for Tulsa vs. UAB
-
Tulsa Golden Hurricane -8.5 (5 units)
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane score an average of 25.4 points per game and has the 43rd best rushing attack, averaging 190.8 yards per game. Tulsa will use that running game to move up and down the field regularly against UAB’s poor run defense, which allows 209.5 yards per game, and is 123rd. Tulsa's strength on defense, if you can call it a strength, is against the pass, allowing 240.5 yards (75th) per game, which will stop UAB’s strength on offense, which is its passing game, that averages 302.1 yards (19th) per game, thus limiting the Blazers' chances of scoring their average of 28.6 points per game. UAB has covered the spread in just one of its last six games against an American Athletic Conference team. Tulsa has covered the spread in four of its last five games overall.
