Tulsa/ Utep Over 57.5: This has been an extremely high scoring series off late as these teams have combined for 76.4 ppg in their last 9 meetings, while the last 4 meetings here has produced 70.8 ppg. Now in years past the Miners did have solid offenses, but this year they have struggled, averaging just 17 ppg. I feel that after getting shutout last week they will find a way to put some points on the board vs this weak Tulsa defense. The Golden Hurricane has allowed 28.3 ppg on the year, but they are really struggling in their last 3 games, allowing 35.3 ppg over that stretch. Tulsa is 5-1 on the year but as you see it is not because of the defense, but more because of an offense that has averaged 459.7 ypg and 42.5 ppg, while at home they have put up 523.7 ypg and 46 ppg. This powerful Tulsa offense will take on a pretty weak UTEP defense that comes in allowing 440.7 ypg and 27 ppg overall, including 490.7 ypg and 31 ppg on the road this year. Im not sure if UTEP will really keep this one close, but I do see them get at least 21 points in this one, while Tulsa should be good for at least 40 points of their own.
Western Kentucky -2 over TROY: WKU is playing very well on both sides of the ball right now as they come in averaging 29.8 ppg, while they come in having allowed just 30 points in their last 2 games. WKU has played a tough schedule so far facing 2 SUC teams on the road and they win one of them (Kentucky in OT). The Hilltoppers came home and demolished a Southern Miss team by 25, before going on the road and beating Arkansas State by 13. Troy did face Miss State at home, but other than than they haven’t really faced anyone. In their last 2 games they faced weak South Alabama and North Texas on the road, but they nearly beat North Texas and were outgained in that game, plus at home earlier they lost to UL Lafayette and in their opener barley beat a very weak UAB team on the road. WKU has played better vs stronger completion, and while Troy is at home and playing with revenge I still feel that this Hilltopper squad is for real and may be the 2nd best team (behind UL-Monroe) in the Sun Belt. Look for the Hilltoppers to take this one.
