Pick
I’m backing the under here. This spread is way too thick to mess with even if I could see Houston winning this one by 30. I just don’t know if I trust Tulsa’s offense to do enough to help push this game towards the over and Houston may just go through the motions and just get in and get out with a win. I’ll back the under in this game.
