LOOKING AT THIS GAME TULSA +8.5 LOOKS SOLID BUT WITH THE BIG LINE MOVE I AM SCARED TO TAKE IT.

WHEN LINES MOVE THAT MUCH I TEND TO TAKE OPPOSITE OF THE LINE MOVE.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS...IS TULSA STILL THE PLAY?

Big line movement in Nebraska/Miss game two weeks ago and Nebraska still covered rather easily.

People may be on Tulsa for their whooping of Ark St two weeks ago. I really don't have an opinion on this game either way. May want to check for injuries.
 
I loved Tulsa at +15-1/2 early in the week. The movement under 10 kills the game for me. I wont take it now. I think that Haw can cover the 8-1/2. In fact, if I had to take it I would take Hawaii.

Thunder - I know what you are saying about Neb/So Miss, but Neb is a " perenial power" type team - which these two are not.

I am really surprised that Tulsa has become such a "public" play. Tulsa as a "public team" puts the fear of God in me.

Interested in what you all think.

I would lay off this game if you are thinking of playing Tulsa. Just my opinion. Besides, you could have got them way higher. Why play them now? I just doesn't make much sense...

You guys know why the line moved from -16 to -8, right?

Hawaii has numerous injs, esp at WR-wide receivers Chad Owens (suspension) and Jeremiah Cockheran (ankle) and defensive lineman Isaac Sopoaga (knee) are expected to miss Sat's game against Tulsa. Linebacker Tyrone Brown (leg) is doubtful. Wide receiver Britton Komine (concussion) is questionable. *Defensive lineman Abu Ma'afala (hand) and offensive lineman Jeremy Inferrera (foot) are probable. Wide receiver Nate Ilaoa (knee) and linebacker Watson Ho'ohuli (knee) are expected to miss the remainder of the season.

Also, Hawaii did not get into Tulsa until LAST NIGHT. For budget reasons, they could not afford to take a charter to Tulsa and flew commericial with an overnight stop in Houston. That is a brutal haul.

Olddog, I would hope everyone is looking at injuries regarless of the line, and especially when it moves this much. There's obviously a reason. BUT, there is still a very LARGE talent descrepancy. Tulsa is headed in the right direction, but they have a ways to go to get there.

I did not know, however, that HI wasn't getting into Ttown until late last night. That, inluded w/the injuries could make a difference, but if you didn't play it when it came out, I wouldn't play it now. Your money, and you'll do what you think is best, but I follow Tulsa pretty dang close, and live in the state, and I'd love nothing more than to see them win outright, but I wouldnt' feel safe putting money on it. Good luck if you do. I hope you win easy...

gawd I hope I didn't talk anyone out of this one. I can't believe they not only covered, but won outright by 11 points.
