Tulsa Golden Hurricane vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys Game Prediction!
The Pick: Game Total Over 54.5
I'm going with the over in this one, and here's why. I just don't trust either of these defenses right now. Oklahoma State got completely shredded by Oregon, and even though Tulsa isn't on that same level, they still have a decent quarterback who should be able to put some points on the board. On the flip side, the Cowboys offense should be able to get things rolling against Tulsa's defense. I think we're in for a high-scoring game here, so give me the over.
