I have a strong feeling Tulsa is going to give Wyoming its first loss of the season.
Starting off the Game Week thread with our friends at Sports Chat Place...
The Wyoming Cowboys and Tulsa Golden Hurricane meet Saturday in college football action at Chapman Stadium.
The Wyoming Cowboys look for their second road victory to improve to 3-0 on the season. The Wyoming Cowboys have split their last six road games. Sean Chambers is completing 39.1 percent of his passes for 245 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception. Chambers has three touchdown passes on 71 career pass attempts. Jackson Marcotte and Gunner Gentry have combined for 102 receiving yards on four catches while Raghib Ismail Jr. has two receptions. The Wyoming Cowboys ground game is averaging 241.3 yards per contest, and Trey Smith leads the way with 222 yards and three touchdowns. Defensively, Wyoming is allowing 20.3 points and 428 yards per game. Logan Wilson leads the Wyoming Cowboys with 35 tackles, Garrett Crall has three sacks and Tyler Hall has one interception.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane need a home victory here to get back to a .500 record. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane have lost four of their last six home games. Zach Smith is completing 63.5 percent of his passes for 664 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Smith has one touchdown pass in four of his last eight games. Sam Crawford Jr. and Keylon Stokes have combined for 450 receiving yards and two touchdowns while Keenen Johnson has six receptions. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane ground game is averaging 113.6 yards per contest, and Shamari Brooks leads the way with 247 yards and three touchdowns. Defensively, Tulsa is allowing 28 points and 385.7 yards per game. Cooper Edmiston leads the Tulsa Golden Hurricane with 25 tackles, Trevis Gipson has two sacks and Reggie Robinson II has one interception.
The Cowboys are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games in September, 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Golden Hurricane are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS loss, 13-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games in September. The under is 16-5 in Golden Hurricane last 21 games overall. The under is 21-8-1 in Cowboys last 30 games overall.
The Wyoming Cowboys have split their last 10 games ATS as an underdog. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane have split their last 14 games ATS as a favorite. Wyoming has found ways to win all three games up to this point, but the lack of success through the air is going to catch up the Cowboys eventually. Tulsa held its own against Oklahoma State last week and playing two games against teams out of its league will only help this team improve as the season drags out. I expect the real Tulsa team to show up this week. I'll lay the reasonable chalk with the Golden Hurricane at home.
Pick:
Tulsa -4.5
