North Texas vs Tulsa Prediction
In this North Texas vs Tulsa Prediction, Tulsa is coming as -2.5 home favorites. Tulsa is coming off its first defeat of the season but has won and covered both of its home games this season, with a combined 68-10 score. On the flip side, North Texas’ both defeats have been on the road, where they conceded 101 points combined in those two games. Tulsa almost cracks the top-40 of the nation defensively, while North Texas ranks on the bottom-8, so I expect the home team to get the job done in this one. Take Tulsa and lay the -2.5.
