Pick
I’m backing the Knights here. Never easy to lay this many points with a team that’s lost three straight on the road on Senior day, but that’s how bad this Tulsa team has been this season, losing five straight by 20+, including a 44-point beatdown loss to UCF in the first meeting a couple of weeks ago. This Tulsa team is an absolute disaster and I look for UCF to lay the hammer here. Give me UCF big.
