This equates to Tulsa posing a stronger challenge to Oklahoma than Louisiana Tech did for the Sooners a week ago.<\/p>\n<p>Tulsa&#8217;s goose is still likely cooked.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63738&#038;limit=1&amp;amp;return_javascript=1&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The Sooners&#8217; defense shut down Tech for the majority of last week&#8217;s game, holding the Bulldogs to 245 total yards and just 54 yards rushing on 29 attempts.<\/p>\n<p>This time, Oklahoma travels across the state to lock horns with a program that chucked passing yards at will in Week 1. Tulsa&#8217;s sophomore QB Dane Evans looked great, putting up 438 yards and four TDs against Tulane.<\/p>\n<p>While somewhat soothing to the home side, OU is a top-tier team in the nation and unfortunately, Tulsa is closer in depth and ability level to Louisiana Tech than it is to a Big 12 contender like Texas, Baylor or the visiting Sooners.<\/p>\n<h3>OU<\/h3>\n<p>Look for Oklahoma QB Trevor Knight to have a big game. Tulsa&#8217;s defense surrendered 31 points to a Tulane squad that certainly doesn&#8217;t have the weapons that the Sooners can roll out. Knight should use his talented depth to attack the home side in multiple ways.<\/p>\n<p>Sophomore RB Keith Ford had a big game in Week 1, putting up 116 combined rushing\/passing yards and including two rush TDs in the mix. When the Sooners aren&#8217;t handing off or throwing to Ford, they also have freshman Samaje Perine, who led the team in rushing last week, as well as talented WR Sam Shepard.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&#038;limit=1&amp;amp;return_javascript=1&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>If that weren&#8217;t enough, the Sooners feature a talented, experienced defensive unit that should overwhelm Tulsa&#8217;s offensive line. Evans looked great against Tulane last week, but could he repeat a performance like that with hungry OU defenders swarming around him?<\/p>\n<p>I very much doubt it.<\/p>\n<p>Watch LBs P.L. Lindley and Frank Shannon tear around the field making plays and, consequently, things miserable for the home team.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden Hurricane had a satisfying start to the season, but playing in-state rival Oklahoma is a much different beast.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63739&#038;limit=1&amp;amp;return_javascript=1&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Tulsa might be able to make some hay aerially against its Top 10 opponent, but it won&#8217;t likely translate to overall success. If the Golden Hurricane can keep the score respectable, they should ultimately consider that a win, no matter what the coaches say with the cameras in their face.<\/p>\n<h3>College football betting trends<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Over is 13-5-1 in OKLA last 19 games on fieldturf.<\/li>\n<li>Under is 11-5 in OKLA last 16 games in September.<\/li>\n<li>Over is 6-2 in TLSA last 8 games on fieldturf.<\/li>\n<li>TLSA are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 vs. Big 12.<\/li>\n<li>TLSA are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Oklahoma 41, Tulsa 14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Upsets can always happen (Re: Appalachian State over Michigan, 2007) but you can feel pretty safe picking the Sooners to cover the spread in this match-up.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our <a title=\"College Football Week 2 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/ncaaf.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated College Football Week 2 Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 2: Sooners vs Golden Hurricane Picks NCAA Football Week 2 betting action sees the fourth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners taking on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Saturday Sept. 6 at Chapman Stadium.
